- 2. Meaning and Definition Web 2.0 is the second generation of World Wide Web which provides the facility of online collaboration and information sharing among people in a much active manner. This contrasts the first generation of Web 1.0 era websites where people were limited to viewing content in a passive manner. The term was coined by Darci DiNucci in 1999 and later popularized by Tim O’Reilly at the first O’Reilly Media Web 2.0 Conference in late 2004. Web 2.0 (also known as Participative and Social Web), thus, refers to websites that emphasize user- generated content, ease of use, participatory culture and interoperability (i.e. compatible with other products, systems and devices) for end users. It has taken the educational delivery to the next level of advancement where the users can meet, discuss or share ideas. Examples of Web 2.0 features include social networking sites (e.g. Facebook), blogs, wikis, folksonomies (“tagging” keywords on websites and links), video sharing sites (e.g. YouTube), image sharing sites (e.g. Flickr), Web applications (“apps”), and collaborative consumption platforms.
