You may have used web 2.0 technologies and not even know it! Web 2.0 technologies are web applications that make sharing of information and interaction easy. Websites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace, Twitter, and Flikr are 2.0 websites.
2.0 technologies offer a very different experience to website visitors than visiting traditional websites. The difference is that traditional websites, when visited, are not interactive. A traditional website has information that is read. The most interaction with the website is just clicking on a link to change the page. With 2.0 websites visitors impact the website.
Some of the web interaction that occurs on web 2.0 websites includes the following:
- Information sharing
- Interoperability
- User-centered design
- Project collaboration
