Do you know what is the real meaning of Web 2.0 means,If you ask your internet expert friends you will get many confusing answers.For few people Web2.0 is a set of philosophies and practices that provide Web users with a deep and rich experience.Others say it is a new collection of applications and technologies that make it easier for people to find information and connect with one another onlineAccording to journalists this term does not mean anything at all,for them it is just a marketing ploy used to hype social networking sites.In 2004, publishing firm O'Reilly Media and tradeshow production company MediaLive International had a brainstorming session. The two companies planned a conference that addressed the state of the Web, its future and the emerging techniques that would help ensure its success on the Internet. Tim O'Reilly, founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media, wanted to make the point that despite the dotcom crash of 2000, the Web was sure to become an enormous revenue generator.
During this brainstorming session, O'Reilly Media publisher Dale Dougherty coined the phrase Web 2.0 to describe the new Web environment that emerged after the crash. While dozens of Internet companies had declared bankruptcy, a few hardy sites managed to survive. New Web sites were appearing every day, and many of them used drastically different business models than the commercial sites that existed before the crash.Still, no one had a clear definition of what Web 2.0 actually meant. If there really was a Web 2.0, did that mean there was also a Web 1.0? The use of 2.0 implied an improvement, or a new generation of Web sites, but there was no consensus on what made Web 2.0 different from Web 1.0.
