What is Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 is a term that describes the current generation of the internet, which is characterized by more user-generated content, interactivity, and collaboration compared to the previous version, Web 1.0.
The majority of the sites around today are considered Web 2.0 sites. Users of Web 2.0 sites can typically upload their own content to the site, including comments, reviews, ratings, photos, and videos. This encourages engagement and collaboration and allows for two-way communication between a site and its visitors.
The term Web 2.0 was coined by Darcy DiNucci in 1999 but gained widespread recognition and popularity after it was used by Tim O’Reilly and Dale Dougherty in 2004.
