Web 2.0

Web 2.0, at first, implies a new version of the World Wide Web but it actually refers more to the changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Internet. The term “Web 2.0” became known after the first O’Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. According to Tim O’Reilly:

“"Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform."

The design of Web 2.0 can also relate to the evolution of some websites from isolated information silos to interlinked computing platforms that function like a locally available software. It also includes a social content where users can generate and distribute the content.
