4. Web 2.0

5. The term "Web 2.0" (2004–present) is
commonly associated with web
applications that facilitate interactive
information sharing, interoperability,
user-centered design, and collaboration
on the World Wide Web. Examples of Web
2.0 include web-based communities,
hosted services, web applications,
social-networking sites, video-sharing
sites, wikis, blogs, mashups, and
folksonomies. A Web 2.0 site allows its
users to interact with other users or to
change website content, in contrast to
non-interactive websites where users are
limited to the passive viewing of
information that is provided to them.
