Openness is the core paradigm

of content, tools and services in Web 2.0 digital environments

The best thing about Web 2.0

is that…

nobody knows

what the hell it really means.

Even the ones who coined the term are still

struggling to find a compact definition.

And this is the true beauty and power of Web 2.0

- it makes people think.

Web 2.0 websites are different from those of early web development, retroactively labeled Web 1.0.

They are designed to deliver interactive, versus static, applications to end-users. Their content is characterised by open communication, decentralised authority, and freedom to share and re-use materials across a more dynamic, interlinked and interactive World Wide Web.

They are often referred to as 'read/write web' applications.

Ajax = Asynchronous JavaScript and XML

Not a single technology – rather a group of technologies working together
