3. Defining Web 2.0 – not easy!
‘Web 2.0 describes World Wide Web sites that emphasize user-generated
content, usability, and interoperability.’
‘Web 2.0 technologies facilitate participatory information sharing,
interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration on the World Wide
Web.’
A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social
media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual
community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the
passive viewing of content that was created for them.
Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web
applications, mashups and folksonomies.’
(Wikipedia, 2012 & 2016)
