Web 2.0 definition

Before we dive into the technical concepts, let us start by defining what exactly is meant by the term Web 2.0. The term Web in Web 2.0 refers to the World Wide Web technology, which we have all grown to know and love. The 2.0 indicator in Web 2.0 does not specify a new version release of a technical specification that supports World Wide Web technology. Rather, it indicates a paradigm shift (or evolution) in the way that Web applications and its components are designed and developed and ultimately share information and collaborate within the Internet and with one another. In many ways, Web 2.0 also enables a paradigm shift of the computing platform from the desktop to the Internet.
