Web 2.0 is the new and improved, second generation of web development and design. When Web 1.0 was first introduced it barely had any interactivity with its users. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web based communities, hosted services, and applications; such as social networking sites (Facebook, Myspace etc...) , video sharing sites (Youtube, Veoh ), wikipedia and blogs. 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 changes in the ways software developers, and end-users utilize the Web.
According to Tim O'Riley:
"Web 2.0 os the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as a platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform."
