Web 2.0 “Web 2.0 is a set of economic, social, and technology trends that collectively form the basis for the next generation of the Internet— a more mature, distinctive medium characterized by user participation, openness, and network effects.” (Tim O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty - Web 2.0 Principles and Best Practices, O’Reilly Radar Fall 2006)

Web 2.0 Is our own human evolution, part of our nature. Is a complete new way of doing things in and with the Internet. Is where “the medium and the message is us” evolving in the way we socially live with and within it, networking, participating and contributing, using and enhancing it every day. It is a step towards the creation of our virtual intelligence.
