Sažetak
The fact that interactive web services have entered all spheres of life motivated
the authors to investigate how this new collaborative media influences modern
information society. The paper discusses the results obtained by comparative
analysis of different collaborative media. Interactivity was considered as one
of the most important criteria for choosing between the many different interactive
web services. The authors analyzed the main characteristics of the chosen
services, classified them into groups and compared them within those
groups. The paper stresses the importance of today’s most popular services,
varying from search engines, all kinds of online communities, different types of
leisure services to e-learning services, on the behavior and expectations of all
participants in the global Internet-based communication. Search engines were
analyzed according to ranking and credibility while Web community services
were analyzed according to many of their interactive and communication possibilities.
The category of leisure services ranged from those services created
for leisure time to those created for other purposes but used as leisure services.
Also, the interactive services of the largest Croatian e-learning solution,
implemented at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University
of Zagreb, were analyzed.The positive and negative sides of each of the analyzed groups of interactive
web services were compared and synthesized, and their effects on media development
and the society in general were analyzed. In the paper, the authors
tried to emphasize the great social aspect of the Internet today and the services
it provides. They showed how society has a great influence on the growth of
the Internet, but also how the Internet has an even greater effect on the relationships
and activities within society. Thus, this paper does not only give an
overview of the comparative analysis of interactive web services but also
shows the mutual influence of the collaborative media and human creativity on
the development of the information society.
