4. Non-web 2.0 elements
News Articles must be reviewed by STOMP staff before it
will be posted online
No perpetual BETA development cycle, in-house
programmers did not experiment with new features,
simply uses tried-and-true quot;textbookquot; type features
On-site quot;Bloggingquot; is only limited to quot;star bloggersquot; or
quot;media clubquot; members

5. Other Magazine Sites
Channel News Asia BBC PC World
These are mostly Web 1.0 sites since articles is only
contributed by the in-house journalists.
Although STOMP has in-house editors and moderators, the
articles are entirely contributed by users. The journalists are
literally in the back seat and not obligated to actively look out
for news.

6. Conclusion
STOMP relies on users for their news whereas traditional
news websites rely upon the work of in-house journalists
However, STOMP articles require the approval of journalists
before they can be published
It is difficult to classify STOMP as a web2.0 website since
Web 2.0 itself has no definition
STOMP does rely on users for news but users do not take
part in the process of editing or creating the articles.
STOMP is more web 1.0 than 2.0, it only seems to be Web
2.0 in nature
