Web 2.0 - Wikipedia - Web Two Dot Ohhhh!

A tag cloud (a typical Web 2.0 phenomenon in itself) presenting Web 2.0 themes Web 2.0, also called Participative (or Participatory)[1] and Social Web[2], refers to World Wide Web websites that emphasize user-generated content, usability (ease of use, even by non-experts), and interoperability (this means that a website can work well with other products, systems, and devices) for end users. The term was invented by Darcy DiNucci in 1999 and popularized several years later by Tim O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty at the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 Conference in late 2004.[3][4][5][6] Web 2.0 does not refer to an update to any technical specification, but to changes in the way Web pages are designed and used. The transition was progressive and we can not precisely say when the change occurred.[2] History[edit] Web 1.0[edit] A diagram showing the milestones in the development of the key layers of the Internet.
