“Web 2.0” refers to a perceived second generation of web development and design that facilitates communication, information sharing and collaboration on the Web.
Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and applications; such as social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies.
The term Web 2.0 was first used in front of a large audience by Eric Knorr, executive editor of InfoWorld, in the December 2003 special issue of the business IT magazine CIO, with the title “Fast Forward 2010 – The Fate of IT”, in his article “2004 – The Year of Web Services”.
