A word has become very much popular from last few months that is Web2.0. What is Web 2.0?
It's funny - I was using the web applications that are supposedly part of this trend but didn't realize it was turning into the latest media event. If you haven't heard this term- chances are you will in the next year, just like blogs were the hot topic last year.

I though Web 2.0 is a new internet technology or standard that is going to take place in future until I searched google for it. I realise it's just how the term Web 2.0 came about, having the internet usages being transition from the past to the present. Personal websites have been replaced by blogging and stickiness replaced by syndication. etc.

This interesting article talks more about Web 2.0 and brings back the history of web pages and ideas we used in the past.

Web 2.0 is acutually a blanket tem describing a new wave of user interactive web technologies that have been developed since the year 2000.

Some of the technologies are Blogging, Community Search Engines (Del.icio.us, etc.), Flicker, Ajax, Google's IG, Wiki's (Wikimedia Project), anything that allows fro customizationa and user input.

Web 2.0 is not a brend new internet, but a new addition to the exixting internet an user base. As more and more people begin to use these new technologies and learn to develpop new things for those sites, we are progressing away farther and farther away from the old web 1.0
