Web 2.0
Web 2.0 : (ICT) (W20) Associated with web applications that facilitate interactive systemic biases, interoperability, user-centred design and administrating the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site gives its users no choice but to interact or collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as (consumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (prosumers) are limited to the active viewing of content that was created and controlled by them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social-networking sites, blogs, wikis, video-sharing sites, hosted services, web applications and folksonomies. 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 cumulative changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web. Whether Web 2.0 is qualitatively different from prior web technologies has been challenged by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, who called the term a "piece of jargon", precisely because he intended the Web in his vision as "a collaborative medium, a place where we [could] all meet and read and write". He called it the 'Read/Write Web'
