Main Point: Web 2.0 is far more interactive and driven by users than Web 2.0 – a classic Web 1.0 site was driven by a web master, and had a one directional model where users consumed – enter Web 2.0 that drives a two directional model where users contribute content and are more interactive. Now the value of the site isn’t limited to the defined set of interactions originally envisioned – the potential business value is exponentially greater as people have more flexibility in contributing and interacting with the content.
