Answer 2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term Web 2.0 refers to a second generation of services available on the World Wide Web that lets people collaborate and share information online. In contrast to the first generation, Web 2.0 gives users an experience closer to desktop applications than the traditional static Web pages. Web 2.0 applications often use a combination of techniques devised in the late 1990s, including public web service APIs (dating from 1998), Ajax (1998), and web syndication (1997). They often allow for mass publishing (web-based social software). The concept may include blogs and wikis.

The term was popularized by O'Reilly Media and MediaLive International as the name for a series of web development conferences that started in October 2004. CMP Media, which purchased MediaLive, claims the term as a service mark for live events, reserving exclusive use of the term for its own conferences.

Some members of the development community see Web 2.0 as an overly vague buzzword, incorporating whatever is newly popular on the Web (such as tags and podcasts), without having any fixed meaning.

Answer 3

Web 2.0 is marketing term used to reinvent and blow back up the Internet bubble you will see no change, and it will not revolutionise your life.... In fact in many ways the web you are using today is web 2.0 offering more interaction better graphics on the whole a better web experience...this is all taking advantage of the higher speeds now available through broadband. Arguably you could call web 1.0 the web designed for slow dial up speeds and web 2.0 the web designed for broadband.
