We have seen Web 2.0 technologies used to create new web GIS applications. In this paper Eamon Walsh, Chief Technology Officer for eSpatial examines technologies progressing the industry from the first Web 2.0 GIS applications.
Key new capabilities include:

• Data input from other consumer devices, such as cell phones.
• Working with organizations’ own data (including large databases) rather than just points of interest on standard maps.

In talking about the Web, whether the original model, the so-called “Web 2.0″, or the emerging Semantic Web (aka Web 3.0), one of the most important things to keep in mind is the network effect. The power of the Web emerges through the link space realized between Web pages. This is evidenced in a number of pieces of work, most famously the PageRank algorithm (Brin and Page, 1998) that was behind the early success of Google. Unlike traditional information retrieval algorithms, which were solely based on the information content of the individual pages, PageRank takes into effect how Web pages are linked to each other. By coupling this information with traditional indexing schemes, the system was able to outperform its competitors.

Once the CyberBully Alert software is installed on your child’s Macintosh or Windows PC computer, your child will have an icon placed on his or her computer’s Menu or TASk bar. If your child receives a threat online, he or she can click on the icon and send an immediate message to a computer and/or cell phone. The software also immediately captures a shot of the active screen—which is then stored in a CYBerBullY AlerT™ folder in the computer’s DOCuMenTS or MY DOCuMenTS folder. Your child also has the option of giving more details and further documenting the threat.
