Web 2.0TECHNICAL

The term Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications and mashups.
