What is Web 2.0?

Perhaps this should have been my first post...but better late then never...



I've
been hearing this flying around many places and see people trying in
earnest to explain the definition...yesterday I found (and subsequently
forgot where) a great but simple definition that works well for me...



Web 2.0 are any Social Web Tools.



Simple..No?



Has anybody got anything else that'll help?

It might not be a simple or quick answer but a good article and hopefully you will be able to refine your own simple definition of Web 2.0 http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your comment Steve, will definitely take a look at it. My attempt to define web 2.0 was deliberately simplistic and a generalisation. It was something Alan B, Jon T and I kept joking about "What is Web 2.0" because we didn't know of a single line definition.

Thanks again.

I bring this to the party:

"web 2.0 is connectivity - through self expression and technological simplicity.
