Today is another one of those staying very late and waking up very early kind of a day. Slept at around 2:30 am and woke up at around 6ish. Had to finish all my clients deadlines, continue upgrading SPC's backend, sorted out event photos taken during the last Saturday's photo exhibit. Another 100 days of continued activity like that, man  I'll probably look like "Palito". Peace be with him by the way.


But I don't think I would allow myself to get stuck into that un-healthy cycle. I am the kind of person who don't like or should I say hates routine work or activity. That is why, back in my nursing days, I enjoyed Emergency Room rotation so much, less or none routine works all the time, yes!


Anyway, it's the kids first day of school and everyone was excited. I can't deny that I was a big sluggish but the kids energy level are lifting me up. It's an amazing gift and blessings having those  kids around, really! Just by hearing them talk, seeing them play together, Tyrone hugging manang for no reason at all, manang drawing pictures of mom, Tyrone and dad with I love you captions below it. Man! There are just no words to describe it!

Welcome

The recent upgrade to SP has catapulted it into the next generation internet communities coined Web 2.0. The first time I heared about it, I thought it has something to do with the sites template design. Little did I know that the net has already started to evolve into something very interesting and I have already took part or have been part of it.

I am happy to share SP's latest development to you all. I hope that you will find the site useful to your daily needs. Rest assured that with the help of our community, we will do whatever we can to bring you a memorable SP experience.

Below are details of what Web 2.0 really is.

Definition

"Web 2.0" refers to a second generation of web development and design, that facilitates communication, secure information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and applications such as social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, mashup and folksonomies.

Characteristics
 
Web 2.0 websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information. They can build on the interactive facilities of "Web 1.0" to provide "Network as platform" computing, allowing users to run software-applications entirely through a browser.[4] Users can own the data on a Web 2.0 site and exercise control over that data. [4][7] These sites may have an "Architecture of participation" that encourages users to add value to the application as they use it.[3][4] This stands in contrast to traditional websites, the sort that limited visitors to viewing and whose content only the site's owner could modify. Web 2.0 sites often feature a rich, user-friendly interface based on Ajax[3][4] and similar client-side interactivity frameworks, or full client-server application frameworks such as OpenLaszlo, Flex, and the ZK framework.[4][7].

The concept of Web-as-participation-platform captures many of these characteristics. Bart Decrem, a founder and former CEO of Flock, calls Web 2.0 the "participatory Web"[8] and regards the Web-as-information-source as Web 1.0.

The impossibility of excluding group-members who don’t contribute to the provision of goods from sharing profits gives rise to the possibility that rational members will prefer to withhold their contribution of effort and free-ride on the contribution of others.[9] This requires what is sometimes called Radical Trust by the management of the website. According to Best,[10] the characteristics of Web 2.0 are: rich user experience, user participation, dynamic content, metadata, web standards and scalability. Further characteristics, such as openness, freedom[11] and collective intelligence[12] by way of user participation, can also be viewed as essential attributes of Web 2.0
