What is Web 2.0? (Simple definition, please!)

Monday, 10 December 2007

You see and hear it everywhere, "Web 2.0 This" and "Web 2.0 That" but what is Web 2.0? How do you define Web 2.0?  Well, simply put, Web 2.0 is an Internet jargon term used to describe the newer generation of websites that are about "User-generated" content.  By this I mean Web 2.0 websites allow users to collaborate and share information, opinions, comments, ideas, links, ratings, bookmarks, reviews, pictures, videos, and more.  Examples of the big names in Web 2.0 are YouTube, MySpace, FaceBook, Wikipedia, Linkedin, Digg, Technorati, and StumbleUpon.  In each of these Web 2.0 enabled sites, the creators of the website have just provided a platform for us, the web surfers of the world, to add our $0.02 to their websites. Remember back in old Web 1.0 days when you just "pulled" information from a website?  Well, in the new Web 2.0 world you can both "push" and "pull" data on the web.  I can't wait to see what new experiences await us in Web 3.0.
