Web 2.0 is what people call new ways of showing or using things on the Internet.

  • Web 2.0 is simple: easy for anyone to publish their work on the Internet
  • Web 2.0 is social: easy for people to connect with other people
  • Web 2.0 is open: easy for websites and computer programs to exchange data with other sources

To people who use the Internet, wikis and blogs are Web 2.0. Some think that Wikipedia is a great example of "Web 2.0". Web 2.0 is mostly about user-generated and interactive content.

It adds great interactivity to otherwise static,only informative web site of Web 1.0.

It fundamentally builds on the internet technologies which are in use since the inception of internet and WWW and gives a layer of abstraction on top to provide rich services.
