Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is a second generation method of using Web technology to create communities, or social networks, where instead of passively viewing content, each user can dynamically create and modify and share Web content. Web 2.0 technology allows users to collaborate and create self-organizing communities that can (1) increase the value and power of peer relationships and (2) simultaneously disrupt traditional real world methods for hierarchical control over information flows.
