What is WEB 2.0?
According to wikipedia Web 2.0 describes as the changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aim to enhance creativity, communications, secure information sharing, collaboration and functionality of the web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web culture communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, video sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies. The term became notable after the first O'Reilly Media,Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but rather to changes in the ways software developers de and end-users utilize the Web.


WEB 2.0 BEGAN!

"Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and Media Live International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O'Reilly VP, noted that far from having "crashed", the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. What's more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have some things in common. Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the web, such that a call to action such as "Web 2.0" might make sense? That's the time Web 2.0 Conference was born.

I heard something new...


It was WEB 2.0 and i heard it from our teacher Ms. Mylene Sereno. She gave us a project about it and post it in Blog.Our content would be about WEB 2.0. At first, i didnt have any idea about it thats why I did the research so that I can start my project. When I already read the article I enjoyed reading it. and I learned a lot.Web 2.0 is very useful now a days.Web developers, designers, bloggers, and even major media outlets have been abuzz with talk of "Web 2.0" this year.Though the term bears the familiar version number so often attached to software products, it doesn't actually refer to any one technology. Rather, Web 2.0 is the moniker for an emerging set of Internet-based tools and an emerging philosophy on how to use them.

Now Web 2.0 is really starting to mean a combination of the technology (like AJAX) allowing the customers to actually interact with the information. Web 2.0 is starting to mean the situation where amateur writers and developers are able to create applications and Web sites that get more credibility than traditional news sources and software vendors. This combination of powerful JavaScript tools like AJAX enabling nearly anyone to contribute to and interact with the data that we are all working with is really what Web 2.0 is.
