Web    2.0    technologies    includes Wikipedia, blog, micro blogging (Twitter), YouTube, podcasts, virtual communities and RSS. In recent years the Web has become the primary means of communicating, providing and sharing information. In my community where I live, we use Facebook to raise awareness in the community. If we see somebody suspicious walking about, or if there has been a breaking in (car & house), mugging or any other general information that would be of use for the community, these information would be shared on Facebook. Many other communities, Bo-Kaap, Mitchells Plain, Salt River, are doing the same. Individuals in communities are more in the habit of using their mobiles to access these apps, and many are comfortable in using these Apps as the generational gap seems to be conquered. People are more inclined to share information by using Web 2.0 technologies, most do not even know it is termed that, but that’s not really important is it.
