A global survey conducted by The Nielsen Company shows that over 85 percent of the worlds online users have purchased products online, with over half this population doing so at least once a month. More and more consumers are opting for the online shopping experience as compared to going to the store. Consumers using the Web 2.0 are more likely to read reviews and comments online as against going to the store to view the product.

What exactly is Web 2.0? It is a loosely defined intersection of web application feature that allows users to interact and collaborate with each other, as against the earlier websites that limited users to passive viewing of content that was already created on it.

Since users can provide data on a Web 2.0 site and exercise some control over that data, it offers marketers an opportunity to engage consumers to collaborate on product development, service enhancement and promotion. Small businesses have become more competitive by using Web 2.0 marketing strategies to compete with larger companies. For example, companies use Twitter to offer customers coupons and discounts for products and services.

What started a decade ago with music and books has now grown to almost every product and service being sold or promoted through websites, thanks in large to Web 2.0. A large part of our buying decision is based on the product experience of others. Web 2.0 allows other owners to post their experiences and views on the product thus making it easier for one to make a decision.

For example, how can one use Web 2.0 to buy jewelry. Before making a purchase you can read reviews of others who have used the website to purchase jewelry and also post your own reviews and experiences. Thus what you get is an honest first hand report on the product and that in itself is a major help in making your decision to buy jewelry.

Online shopping is here to stay and technologies like Web 2.0 will radically change the way we see and buy products in the future.

There are a variety of web host options to consider cloud hosting. For individuals who want to compare web hosting options that may be available, there are many ways to do so. You can find many websites that will compare some of the best options for you. This is compared for price, performance and even customer service. You can also find with a little research online some of the best prices.

One of these is SaaS, or software as a service. With this type of cloud hosting, the client pays to use software which the service provider hosts for a subscription fee. In this model, both the software and the server hardware are owned by the host. Another model for cloud hosting is called cloud application platform.

This is similar to managed server hosting, except that the service provider can tailor the platform to meet customer development needs. The host provides the platform in this case but not the software. In the open cloud hosting model, open source software allows customers to build their own clouds or develop applications within the service provider's open source cloud framework. Another option is private cloud hosting, where the customer runs a dedicated server which may be managed by a service provider.
