The World Wide Web is a huge space with innumerable virtual entities, with or without any physical representation in the real world. But since the population of the online user is so large, what make any of these entities stand out from the others are the user-friendly, accommodating and interactive features on the website.
Web 2.0 is a web application platform that gives online users the allowance to share information, interact and collaborate on the internet. These exchanges and associations can either be through any social media platform, virtual communities and the possibility of user-generated content. This is a level above the singular communication model of the reader only having the information for viewing and reading only. There is no scope or possibility for any response from the users nor the possibility of any online interaction between two users of the website. The Web 2.0 applications include web applications, social networking sites, hosted services, wikis, blogs, folksonomies and mashups.
Providing information for reading or retrieving is just the sole
motive of the Web 2.0 web application. The enhancement of the first application, Web 1.0, and its development into Web 2.0 allows users with increased storage and software facilities, greater user-interface and virtual networks. This level of computing is often referred to as the “Network on a Platform” computing.
