There has been much debate over what Web 2.0 is. Every single person that uses the internet is impacted by Web 2.0 and they might not even know it. Web 2.0 is a combination of useful principles with the end-user experience in mind. Web 2.0 creates a rich network for people to communicate and share with each other on the Internet unlike anything in the past.
Three commonly used practices in Web 2.0 are:
Rich Internet Applications – Flash, Ajax (brings desktop functionality to browser, such as drag and drop)
Service Oriented Architecture – Mashups, RSS, Feeds, and Web Services (provides ways to add current news to Websites, APIs such as Google maps can be customized to work in different applications)
Social Web – Wiki, Blogging, Tagging content, Podcasts (User controls much of the data being displayed)
YouTube.com, Wikipedia, Digg.com, and Gmail are some good examples of Web 2.0 applications.

Web 2.0, yeah i see a possibility of web 3.0 and such in the future. The web is constantly emerging and expanding to conform to everyones wants and needs. Who would really want to sit at a computer and take 30 minutes searching for a certain topic that would take only about 5 minutes with web 2.0? It just amazes me how much the internet has to offer. Great job, like ryan, I love the details!
Very nice Ramon. I will admit, I did not know that i was impacted by Web 2.0 until we did this blog over it. I would just use the Feeds and RSS for when I would want to be updated when some of the bloggs that i read were updated with new pictures or articles. But I just thought it was more of a type of update to the internet to make it more advanced, and not like a new version of the internet. Again good job.
