Definition: [[image:M4_copy.jpg align="right"]]
Web 2.0 is a term coined in 2004 to describe the parts of the world wide web which go beyond the basics of browsing and information gathering to the contribution of content and exchange of ideas by site visitors. These sites allow this interaction and creativity without requiring specialized software or programming skills. All a user needs to become a content creator is a browser pointed to a Web 2.0 site.
