Web 2.0 is a collection of technologies that enable us to create and provide services to end users in innovative ways. It's not only about the technologies which are used but about the new ways that it enables large numbers of people to come together to collaborate, share, and build .
The term Web 2.0 was invented by Tim O’Reilly, founder and CEO of O’Reilly Media.
According toTim O'Reilly: http://radar.oreilly.com/2006/12/web-20-compact-definition-tryi.html, 2006
“Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.”
Much of the focus of Web 2.0 is on new business models however it definitely has some technical features, with the implementation and innovation of new technologies and standards within the web platform.
Much of the focus in the Web 2.0 and Social Networking space has been toward customer interaction; that is, how to collaborate better with customers through blogs, forums, or Facebook and MySpace websites, how to increase product awareness or drive sales with marketing campaigns, or how to increase customer satisfaction using Ajax so that pages are updated almost automatically.
Web 2.0 websites , are those that have these features :
• Their user interface is improved and enables end users to access and view data in a quicker and more dynamicl way by using AJAX to provide a richer user interfaces. By using XMLHttpRequest object in the background web pages can be more functional and natural.
• They use HTML and CSS standards. This helps the website to run on different platforms and be accessible.
• They use the web services to enable themselves to share data or use data...

In Steve Johnsons’ article, “It’s All About Us,” he says that “web 2.0 is organized around people …adding their voice to the web’s evolving conversations as a megaphone.” By this he means that technology brings the opportunity for the spread of effective communication by allowing people to talk and
The transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 ushered in major paradigms shifts in the software industry. Software evolved from being a licensed product to being a subscribed web service. Development efforts slid from the tight control of specialists, for example systems analysts and programmers, towards a collaborative project between end users and technology experts. Learners are now required to teach themselves and teachers are there to facilitate the learning process. The dissemination of knowledge and wisdom would gravitate away from the puritanical filters of rigorous scholastic scrutiny towards a mashed-up crowd sourced assembly such as Wikipedia. Personal websites would now encompass a social networki...

The World Wide Web started as an idea that focused around the government’s need to communicate if there was a real war. In 1964 the Cold War was at its peak, the Advanced Researched Projects Agency, or ARPA began researching and developing a way to get computers to “communicate with each other,” this is how it all started (The Internet's History and Development). The government scientists who were, “developing networking technology in the 1960's knew that what they were building would be far bigger than themselves; nobody, however, could have predicted the explosion in Internet access and interest in the past several years” (The Internet’s History and Development).

Since the very beginning of the Information Age, life in the world and post societies have been described as a constant stream of ever changing products, unprecedented methods of production and dynamic means of distribution. The development of the world wide web, for example, is a major breakthrough in the advance of communication. Today, the World Wide Web has become a huge cultural movement including millions of people. The world of information that we now live in has already altered and changed many different aspects of our lives, both directly or indirectly.
The subject matter of this paper is the integration of single sign-on based web architecture in place of the current design that provides multiple sites for company employees. Currently, employees wishing to access company related information are required to access approximately eight different websites and maintain records for different user names and passwords for each site. This paper will outline the design specifics that will be necessary for full integration and user functionality of the new web-based portal.
According to World Wide Web pioneer Timothy Berners-Lee, the World Wide Web's initial purpose was to provide "an interactive world of shared information through which people could communicate with each other and with machines" (1996: p 1). Originally developed at the European Center of Nuclear Energy (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, the Web emerged in 1989 as a way for Dr. Berners-Lee and some of his distant associates to work on particle physics projects. He designed a method of links that was usable by all computers and hypertext was the language; we know it as http. With its knowledge-sharing capabilities, the invention of the Web quickly spread to universities and science research communities all over the world. Since it was primarily used for text, actual web design in these early days was not particularly significant. Around this same time, researchers at the National Center for Super Computing Applications at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana also worked and researched web technology. In 1992, only 26 hosts were serving web sites.
Web 2.0 tools are used highly today and consist of applications like wikis, blogs, podcasts and social networking applications such as Facebook, twitter, my space and YouTube. Previously used web 1.0 tools are the conceptual evolution of World Wide Web (WWW). It uses applications like websites, e-mail and newsletters. Web 1.0 is more static and it was a major hit in healthcare sector when physicians access the static contents in trusted websites containing medical journals. The contents provided through web 1.0 tool cannot be edited and provider can review, delete and correct their contents anytime. Evolution of web 2.0 tools created an interactive approach from the static and provider centered approach. Its interactive approach is a two-way communication between provider and user. As a result, it is a powerful tool to reach prescribers and patients in field of pharmaceuticals.
Basically the web is a service that has been used through the Internet network, as like many other kind of services, however the World Wide Web became very popular when it arrived in the 1980s by its inventor Tim Berners-Lee, because the technology of the computer networks has been developing effectively and repeatedly. Furthermore, the web beca...
Web 2.0 can be described as a World Wide Web site that uses technology beyond the static pages of earlier web 1.0. It allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media such as Facebook, twitter, Myspace, etc. allowed users to read write or contribute to the content available to everyone in a user friendly way. Major feature of web 2.0 includes social networking sites, user created web sites, self-publishing platforms, tagging and social bookmarking. This was defined by Dale Dougherty in 2004 as a read-write web.
These approaches also have some limitations, in part due to differences between web applications and systems developed and operated under more traditional paradigms. Among these differences, we consider three in particular.
Web 2.0 encourages user participation, provides rich user experiences and ability to contribute. With the introduction of social networking, blogging, wikis, and content sharing have made Web 2.0 the place to collaborate, communicate and share with other people all around the world, and are user driven. It consists of dynamic pages, allowing users to read and write information with low barriers of entry.
“The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow.” Bill Gates. The Internet is vast and is just getting bigger. It has its own community that is open to the public. The Internet is becoming a platform all on its own. It is a stepping-stone in a direction that is unknown. The Internet has become so vast that there are now different versions of it. The different versions of the web are Web 1.0, Web 2.0, the main focus of this paper, and Web 3.0. Web 1.0 is all about sharing information. It is very bland and just gets the point across of what was needed. This how the Internet had started. Web 2.0 is sharing information with interaction. To me this means social media in some fashion. The website that was accessed has a way of interacting with the users whether it be through comments or giveaways on the web. Web 3.0 is the server interacting with the individual on a particular website. Amazon is the best example of Web 3.0 because it gives recommendations based on items that have been searched. “Among American adults 87% use the web, 68% connect...
