What is Web2.0•The term Web 2.0 was coined by Tim O’Reilly.

•Tim believed that “the bursting of the dot-com bubble in the Autumn of 2001 marked a turning point for the web.” Before then = Web 1.0. After then = Web 2.0. Where the relatively sudden emergence of a whole range of software tools, applications and platforms (generally referred to as social software) in the last 4-5 years or so is taking the Web in a very exciting direction.
