8.31 WEB 2.0

Web 2.0 is often known as World Wide Web for second generation where people collaborate with
each other through social networking sites, blogs, wikis, folksonomies, video-sharing sites, hosted
services, web applications and mashups. Web 2.0 offers more dynamic pages instead of static pages
that allows users to create online applications. Web 2.0 also allows groups of people to work on
multiple applications. For example, a user can work on a document or spreadsheet simultaneously,
while in the background a computer keeps track of who made what changes, where and when.

Web 2.0 tools are also less expensive than traditional software—many are even free. Because they
are web-based, the need is only to update the browser.
