Web 2.0

Web 2.0 refers to a new generation of websites based on the creation of Web Sites where content is shared and produced by the users. The term Web 2.0 was first used in 2004 when Dale Dougherty of O'Reilly Media used this term in a lecture in which he spoke of the rebirth and evolution of the Web.

Web 2.0 information consumers have become "prosumers", ie, the producers of the information they consume. Web 2.0 offers millions tools and user-friendly platform for publishing information on the web. As of today everybody has the ability to create a blog and publish opinion articles, photos, videos, audio files, etc. and shared with other portals and Internet.

A website that is built using Web 2.0 technology is characterized by the following aspects:

• The site does not act as a "walled garden" means information must be possible to insert and remove easily.
• Users control their own information.
• Based exclusively on the Web: Web 2.0 sites with more success can be used entirely from a browser.
• The existence of autolinks is a prerequisite.
