Web 2.0, a phrase coined
by O'Reilly Media in 2004, refers to a
perceived second-generation of Web-based
communities and hosted services —
such as social networking sites, wikis
and folksonomies — that facilitate
collaboration and information sharing
between users.
In the opening talk of the first Web 2.0
conference, Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle
summarized what they saw as key principles
of Web 2.0 applications:
The web as a platform
Data as the driving
force
Network effects
created by an architecture of participation
Innovation in assembly
of systems and sites composed by pulling
together features from distributed,
independent developers (a kind of "open
source" development)
Lightweight business
models enabled by content and service
syndication
The end of the software
adoption cycle ("the perpetual
beta")
Software above the
level of a single device, leveraging
the power of The Long Tail
Ease of picking-up
by early adopters
Web 2.0 integrates technologies and concepts
to create a site rich in features and
contents thereby facilitating a better
interaction between the portals and the
online buyers.
