What is Web 2.0? PDF Print E-mail
When searching the Internet on the “web 2.0” keywords, one may find millions of references (more than 9.5 million citations in Google only) and long debates, which can hardly clear this concept up. There are three major extremes in the web2.0-related talks. The first one defines Web 2.0 as a set of the modern design elements, colors, rounded corners etc. The second standpoint implies delving into the scientific-kind discussions about new technology, information and so on. Finally the last approach compares the features of the “old” generation websites and the new ones (ex facebook or Google mapping). Probably, one of the most often referenced analyses of its kind is done by Tim O'Reilly back in 2005. In his brainstorming, he formulated the sense of Web 2.0 by comparing various features/aspects:

Obviously, this comparison may become endless as almost any distinguished newcomers bring more and more features. The funniest thing about reading the web 2.0 devoted articles is that it looks as nobody knows what the Web 2.0 is, while everyone likes it and admits that Web 2.0 is the future of the Internet. We really do not want to waste time arguing about that concept. Instead, we are giving our understanding of Web 2.0 in simple and short terms. This is our standpoint, the standpoint of developers, who believe that many of our sites can be categorized as Web 2.0.
What Web 2.0 is not. It is not a new modern design only, though many latest Web 2.0 sites share some similarities in the web design. It would be too simple – just to change the colors and add rounded corners ….
Web 2.0 is a multi-dimensional perception of the information on the web. Instead of delivering a classic flat content, Web 2.0 reveals many hidden angles of the information for example, by opening the hidden page elements (accordions, sliders etc) or getting various details on the Google interactive map.
