Web 2.0 refers to the second generation of internet-based services that emphasize user-generated content, interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. Some key aspects of Web 2.0 include user blogs, wikis, sharing of photos, videos, and podcasts, as well as new ways of interacting via social networking, folksonomies, and APIs. While Web 1.0 focused on static, reader-only websites, Web 2.0 aims to harness the collective intelligence of users by facilitating contribution and interaction between users on the internet.

Kaplan & Haenlein - Users of the world, unite - the challenges and opportunit...ESCP Exchange
The concept of Social Media is top of the agenda for many business executives today. Decision makers, as well as consultants, try to identify ways in which firms can make profitable use of applications such as Wikipedia, YouTube, Facebook, Second Life, and Twitter. Yet despite this interest, there seems to be very limited understanding of what the term ‘‘Social Media’’ exactly means; this article intends to provide some clarification. We begin by describing the concept of Social Media, and discuss how it differs from related concepts such as Web 2.0 and User Generated Content. Based on this definition, we then provide a classification of Social Media which groups applications currently subsumed under the generalized term into more specific categories by characteristic: collaborative projects, blogs, content communities, social networking sites, virtual game worlds, and virtual social worlds. Finally, we present 10 pieces of advice for companies which decide to utilize Social Media.

2.0 Scout report: what is out there that we can use?Johann van Wyk
The presentation was delivered at the Special Libraries and Information Services (SLIS) Meeting, titled "Information Professionals in high gear: developing social media savvy" held on 14 October 2010 at the Knowledge Commons, CSIR, Pretoria, South Africa. The presentation takes the viewer on a tour of the different types of Web 2.0 tools that currently exist, and illustrates how some of these tools have been used by the Library Services of the University of Pretoria, South Africa. The presentation also highlights the value each tool can have in a library setting, and ends with possible future developments that are on the horizon.
The Web 2.0 is here and it’s changing everything that we do on the Internet! Library 2.0: A New Version for the Future looks at how library systems and services fit into this user-centric world where dynamic, Web-based tools, online communities, and the ability to personalize everything drive one’s computing environment. In this day-long seminar we will look at how people are using technology (in and out of the library) and explore the the mindset of library users. We will also take a look at specific Web environments, tools, and applications that are currently shaping the information landscape.
