So, what is “Web 2.0″? This is a great overview of what is generally perceived as leveraging this technology.
In short: “Web 2.0 purports to be collaborative, participatory, simple, accessible, efficient, lightweight, approachable, action-oriented, and user-driven.” … It’s a mistake to think Web 2.0 is all about the technology, but it’s also a mistake to dismiss the technology.
