An attempt to explain Web 2.0 architecture and tools and services that constitute it. Please note I had created this about 2 years back, some parts may no longer be relevant but the core remains.

2. Introduction
The web has changed our lives in a manner that could not have been
foreseeable even 30 years back. For some users it spread out a new
plane of existence, it’s effects continue to be profound both on the
collective as well as the individual. Democratization of information
through the web hasn’t really been acknowledged as it should have
been. Information that took years to acquire the traditional way in the
past is now available at your fingertips, literally speaking
The web presented a world where users perceived by not skin color,
ethnicity, religious denomination and like but by their knowledge,
intellect and attitude. After all the web is a collaborative mind space,
the trend of users taking active role in creating content on web (and
thus sustaining it) went by the moniker Web 2.0 .

3. User 2.0
Most of the popular Web 2.0 services are built to augment specific
user behavior on cyber space but due to the mushrooming of so many
sites and services it has become quite confusing. Web 2.0 also saw
emergence of active user, most content were generated by users
themselves. Software applications were designed around this
emerging user behavioral trend.
Thus arrived User 2.0 - the user who could
optimally use the rapidly developing Web 2.0
services to create value without spending a lot
of time on them. In this presentation I will try
to explain some of the essential Web 2.0
services in context to usability and overall
architecture of the Web 2.0 and the map of a
typical User 2.0

4. Web 2.0 Map
User behavior on Web can be categorized under three types
of behavior :
• Content Creation Only activities involve
• Activities interaction with other
• Curation users.
Content creation is
sharing information
through text,
Curation is
pictures, audio and
bookmarking or
video. It is the
saving links for future
primary means to
as well collaborate
creating your
with curated content
identity.

14. Web 2.0 Map
This is a standard map of Web 2.0 but a personal one. The services I have
included are my personal favorites, you might prefer a different set of
services. As a matter of fact, using two or three services properly may
more than suffice.
Further, most of these services can be linked to each other. For example, if
you link your Twitter account to your Linked In account, you can
simultaneously update Linked In status message and also tweet it.
Conversely, if you have configured previously you can update your Linked
In status message with your Tweet, preferably selectively. Similarly
Facebook can be connected with most of the services listed in the map.
However, it is web feeds , mostly RSS feeds that would contribute most to
your online reputation. Feeds act as transport agents taking your content
across the web to readers instead of requiring users to visit the web page.
If the Web were an organism web feeds would definitely be it life blood.
