Recognize and describe Web 2.0 applications with suitable example. Solution \'Web 2.0\' is a techno-culture term that was coined in 2004. The moniker was born at an O\'Reilly Media conference, and describes that the World Wide Web has now evolved into a provider of online software services. The original \'Web 1.0\' of 1989 was just a massive collection of static electronic brochures. But since 2003, the Web has evolved into a provider of remote-access software. In short: Web 2.0 is the interactive Web. Web 2.0 offers many interactive software choices, many of which have become household names.
