Web 2.0 can generally be defined as an interactive system that allows information to be shared between users. It can be described as a new innovative version of Web 1.0 where its contributors were outnumbered by the viewers. Web 2.0 is the transition and transformation from an Internet where its content is controlled and owned by the contributors to an Internet where its content is controlled by everyone for everyone.
According to Tim O'Reilly, Web 2.0
"...is the business revolution in the
computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as a platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform."
Here's a great video that demonstrates Web 2.0 in a creative way. Enjoy.
