==What is Web 2.0?==
Web 2.0 are websites that stress user-generated content, ease of use, participation and interoperability for end users. Darcy DiMucci coined this term in 1999. The term became popular through O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 Conference in late 2004. The numeric part describes the general changes that occurred giving rise to interactive websites, overshadowing older static websites. The numeric part doesn't denote any formal change in the World Wide Web.

Web 2.0 makes users interact with one another through social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content. Contrary to the era of web 1.0 where people had no choice but to look into the content in a passive manner. Examples of web 2.0 can be social media sites, blogs, video sharing, image sharing, mashing applications, web applications etc.
===Concepts===
Web 2.0 is described by three parts

'''Rich Web Application''' : It is defined by the experience brought from desktop to browser, the experience can be said to be rich in graphical terms or usability terms.

'''Web Oriented Architecture (WOA)''' : It defines the way in which web 2.0 opens up its functionality so that other functions can integrate with it to provide a rich set of applications like RSS feeds, web services, mashups.

'''Social Web''' : It describes how web 2.0 engages and interacts with the end user and makes them an integral part of the website. This is done by adding their profiles, adding user-generated data, uploading content and comments.

Web 2.0 provides end users with features like information storage, creation and dissemination, which was not the case with web 1.0.

'''SLATES:''' Web 2.0 has the following features which are described by the acronym SLATES

'''Search:''' Finding information by the process of keyword search

'''Links to Other Websites:''' Uses the model of the web to connect the information sources

'''Authoring:''' User's ability to create, update content leads to collaborative work. Users of a 'Wiki' page can create, edit, undo, add to the work of other users. Similarly, systems to comment allow users to put their viewpoint.

'''Tags:''' Tags are basically one or two word descriptions that help in searching. A collection of tags within a particular system is called folk taxonomies.

'''Extensions:''' Software like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Oracle Java, Quick Time, Windows Media that make the Web an application platform and document server.

'''Signals:''' The use of syndication technologies to notify users of content changes like RSS feeds.

SLATES is the basic framework of Web 2.0. It doesn't interfere with high-level web 2.0 patterns. It includes self-service IT.

Example based difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0.
==Technologies used==
On the client side Web 2.0 development uses Ajax and JavaScript frameworks. To avoid full page overload, Ajax programming uses JavaScript and DOM. For the smooth interaction of users, the data requests sent to the server and data coming back to the page are separated.

On the server side, web 2.0 uses the same technologies as web 1.0 like PHP, Perl, Python, Enterprise Java (J2EE), Microsoft.NET framework. These technologies are used by developers to get output by using information from databases.

Thus websites and web services can share machine readable formats like XML and JSON.
==Importance of web 2.0==
*Businesses can interact more conveniently with the clients and employees
*Information is more readily available and of better quality
*The old model of publisher controlling the flow of information is dying and a new model of participation is coming over Britannica Online
==Web 2.0 and collective intelligence==
Whenever a new website is added to the internet, it is bound to the structure of the web by others discovering its data and content and latching onto it. By linking, the web grows and becomes stronger with each website being added.
==Web as platform==
The web uses applications called applets to make the experience of the internet more enjoyable. The biggest example of using the web as a platform is Google. Google can be accessed from multiple devices. Be it NAC or Windows, PC or mobile devices, mobile phone or tablet. Furthermore it's free, all you need is a strong internet connection. Google is a seamless product.
