The Dark Knight Rises BBFC

From researching some of the complaints about the release of The Dark Knight Rises to the BBFC I have found some reasons that the fans of the film were not too happy. Firstly, it has been said that there has been about 34 seconds worth of footage been cut from The Dark Knight Rises cutting out 34 seconds of footage from The Dark Knight Rises. This has lead to people wondering if Warner Brothers cut out some of the more violent or gruesome scenes from the film just to achieve the 12A rating that the original Dark Knight had. Other have complained about the whole 12A Rating as a whole saying that the action and violent scenes are edited in a way that is just too fast not showing enough of the action just to achieve a 12A rating.

Definition Of Web 2.0

The term Web 2.0 was first used in 1999 to describe sites that use technology beyond static pages used in the eariloer sites. It is very closely with Tim O'Reilly because of the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference which was held in late 2004.

As much as Web 2.0 sounds like a etchnical upgrade of the web as a whole this is not what it means. Web 2.0 in essence if a cumulative change in the way that software developers and in turn the end users of the web use the web and its features. This can very much be seen with the sudden uprising of sites which run off of user generated content bringing forth a new age of websites such as facebook, youtube and twitter in which the users of the site are the ones who create the content on it.

A Web 2.0 site may allow users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where people are limited to the passive viewing of content. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies^.
