What is Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 is not a new version of the Web, but rather the use of the Internet as dynamic platform for developing and delivering advanced Web technology and applications.
Web 2.0 transcends static Web pages and one-way communications. Instead, Web 2.0 is all about interactivity, participation, creativity and, most importantly, collaboration. Web 2.0 is transforming how individuals experience the Web. No longer do they have to be passive bystanders, beholden to "experts" to provide the content. Instead, with no specialized technical knowledge, people can be active participants in the culture of the Web.
The participatory nature of Web 2.0 also means that the Web is:
The new gathering place, with forums for social networking, chatting and status updates, and local and global community involvement
The new collaboration space, with applications for brainstorming, visualizing and sharing ideas, learning together, solving problems, and managing group conversations, projects and events
The new desk and library, with applications for finding, organizing, sharing, evaluating, using and archiving, using and archiving all sorts of information
The new stage, with applications for creating and presenting original, multimedia content
