What is Web 2.0?

The term “Web 2.0” is commonly associated with web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact with each other as contributors to the website’s content, in contrast to sites where users are limited to passive viewing of information. Web 2.0 is not a new version of the World Wide Web, but rather cumulative changes in the ways users use the Web.
