Web 2.0; Definition

Definition; Web 2.0 is identified as a second generation of web development and design. It is said to be going beyond the capabilities of Web 1.0, by delivering a more efficient experience for users. The technology has been defined as a 'platform' for distributed services which is allowing for greater communication and connections between people. O'Reillynet.com describe the experience of using Web 2.0 as "Visualizing a set of principles and practices that tie together a veritable solar system of sites that demonstrate some or all of those principles, at a varying distance from that core". http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html
