You have probably heard about Web 2.0. but maybe you don’t really know what it means.  In simple terms, Web 2.0 refers to the way we use the internet to communicate and collaborate with each other.Facebook is an example of a Web 2.0 application. Blogs and wikis are all examples of Web 2.0. and so is Google docs.

Web 2.0 is really about using the web to share information, images, documents, ideas etc. with others. We go online, we chat with friends, we leave messages, we share photos, we create movies, we create words, we create virtual worlds, and lots more. All online!! That’s Web 2.0

A comment I find inspiring…from Time Magazine

“Web 2.0 harnesses the stupidity of crowds as well as its wisdom. Some of the comments on YouTube make you weep for the future of humanity just for the spelling alone, never mind the obscenity and the naked hatred. It’s a chance for people to look at a computer screen and really, genuinely wonder who’s out there looking back at them.” Lev Grossman, Time Magazine
