2. History
The term "Web 2.0" was coined in 1999 by
Darcy DiNucci, a consultant on electronic
information design in her article, "Fragmented
Future".
In 2004, the term began its rise in popularity
when O'Reilly Media and MediaLive hosted the
first Web 2.0 conference "The Web as Platform".
3. The term Web 2.0 was largely championed by
bloggers and by technology journalists,
culminating in the 2006 TIME magazine Person
of The Year.
Web 2.0 has found a place in the dictionary; in
2009 Global Language Monitor declared it to be
the one-millionth English word.
4. Web 2.0 basically refers to the transition from
static HTML Web pages to a more dynamic Web
that is more organized and is based on serving to
users. Other improved functionality of Web 2.0
includes open communication with an emphasis
on Web-based communities of users, and more
open sharing of information. Over time Web 2.0
has been used more as a marketing term than a
computer-science-based term.
