Web 2.0
- The dot.com boom (1998-2001) was a huge rise in the number of internet-based companies.
- There was then a shift from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0
- It was the possibility of staying online and interacting online which really changed things.
Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dislodge as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content.
Web 2.0 or 'new digital media' shapes the relations of public/private, work/non-work, home/outside.
Mobile phones enhance social connections that have always existed (making arrangements, talking)
How then is social networking different from more ancient forms of networking?
Social networking is different from more ancient forms of networking due to the changes in technology. Technology enables people to communicate at any point in time through the use of social media. Social media such as Facebook, Messenger and FaceTime allows people to interact with one another instantly whenever they want which wasn't possible with more ancient forms of networking.
Simulcasting
When a media product is broadcast both online and via a traditional medium at the same time.
In television terms, it could refer to a programme being broadcast on two different channels.
On a side note, the US Open tennis tournament was broadcast on Amazon Prime in 2018, one of the first occurrences of a video streaming service acquiring the rights to a live sporting contest.
Narrowcast channels
Television channels that distribute special niche content. For example, Manchester United TV as its very targeted.
LoveFilm was a provider od DVDs by mail and streaming videos on demand. Amazon bought it in 2011 and it had reached 2 million subscribers and 4 million rentals of DVDs a month per month in 5 countries.
In 2017 it ended because there was a decreased demand for discs and an increased demand for online streaming.

Notes on technological convergence and Web 2.0 are really good. Very detailed and thorough. For the Sutori timeline, use of images would be an improvement - as a media student, always strive to make your presentations as visually striking as possible.
