Web 2.0, what is it? Web 2.0 is basically the second generation of internet design. The biggest difference between the first and second generations is the addition of user generationed content. Websites like Facebook, Myspace and Flickr were all bulit almost entirely by their users. No longer is the web a place just to look at but not touch, Web 2.0 is about user participation.
I'm old enough to remember the "Dark Ages" of Web 1.0 and I never really thought about the shift to 2.0, or noticed it at the time - Though it's generally considered to have happened around 2001.
Any place where people are encouraged to express their ideas and participate is a positive place, and that is what the internet has become post Web 2.0.
