Web 2.0 allows users to generate and share content online through social media and collaboration. It emphasizes user-generated content, usability, and interoperability between systems. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, and other applications that allow users to interact and contribute online as "prosumers" who both consume and produce content.

3. Defining Web 2.0 – not easy!
‘Web 2.0 describes World Wide Web sites that emphasize user-generated
content, usability, and interoperability.’
‘Web 2.0 technologies facilitate participatory information sharing,
interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration on the World Wide
Web.’
A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social
media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual
community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the
passive viewing of content that was created for them.
Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web
applications, mashups and folksonomies.’
