Web 2.0

“Web 2.0 is a trend in World Wide Web technology and web design, a second generation of web-based communities and hosted services such as social- networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies, which aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing among users.” Wikipedia

"Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform." Tim O'Reilly 2004
