What+is+Web+2.0

Web 2.0 is the second version of the World Wide Web and it describes web sites that use technology beyond earlier web site pages. A Web 2.0 site often allows users to interact and talk with one another in a social media way. This is different from websites where people have limited viewing content. Web 2.0 is used for marketing and has an open communication with Web-based communities. The two main components of Web 2.0 are the technological advances by Ajax and other new applications such as RSS and Eclipse. The term "Web 2.0" was first used in January 1999 by Darcy DiNucci in her article, “Fragmented Future”. Web 2.0 provides its users with more interface and software and storage facilities through their browser. Web 2.0 makes serious debate and talking possible. Although this is a useful feature, it increases the amount of spam by certain users.
