What is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0

This term may be one of the most over-used terms in the Internet ether. However, until the next over-hyped buzz word comes along, it is here to stay. Web 2.0 generally refers to the idea of creating web properties that are focused on social interaction amongst its users and better organization of content. For example, where a news site like cnn.com only allows users to read its articles, usatoday.com offers Web 2.0 features such as allows users to comment on articles and join a community of other readers. Additionally, sites like Flickr support
users associating their uploaded photos with labels that allow others to easily find them. Among the concepts most often associated with Web 2.0 are blogs, wikis, social networking, meta tags, user generated content (UGC) and rich Internet applications (full-featured applications hosted entirely online).
