Web 2.0

What is "Web 2.0"?

Before the phenomenon that is now known as web 2.0, there was a less dynamic, static, user experience of the World Wide Web known as -Web 1.0. This included websites containing 'read only' material resulting in a one way flow of information. It can be said that Web 2.0 is more easily understood with reference to Web 1.0. as the technological advances and changes in user behaviour become apparent. To put it simply, Web 2.0 is a more advanced, interactive and informative version of Web 1.0 and has often been referred to as the second generation of the development of the World Wide Web. Features of Web 2.0 include applications such as blogs, social bookmarking, RSS, streaming video sites etc. which allow the users to be not only consumers, but also providers of information.
Examples of Websites created with Web 2.0 include: Youtube, Myspace, Facebook
