Web 2.0 DEFINED

Is Web 2.0 an upgrade to Web 1.0?

Not technically...but it is a term coined (O'Reilly Media, 2003) to describe enhanced applications that are now ubiquitious on the web. Web 2.0 specifially refers to web apps that are participatory in nature - via information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration. Examples of Web 2.0 sites include social networking sites, video and photo sharing sites, wikis, blogs and any other site where users contribute to the content - users are prosumers vs. consumers.
