Web 2.0

It is not Internet 2

Rather

Web 2.0 refers to a perceived second-generation of Web-based services—such as social networking sites, wikis,

communication tools, and folksonomies—that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users.

Web 2.0 doesn't have a hard

boundary, but rather, a

gravitational core.
