1.0 Worldwide web 1st generation
- 1 -> many
- One person writes the content.
- Many people read the pages.
- Need to write in HTML + graphics
1.5 Content management systems (CMS)
- Small teams -> many readers
- Each writer works on a different page
- Designers and programmers work separately on overall system, not each page.
- Get easier for writers to use, but still need training.

- Social networking sites: Facebook, Bebo (e.g. Michele Smyth, Alderman Wilson)
- Share photographs: Flickr
