What characterises Web 2.0?Web 2.0 isn’t fancy technology

The technology is simple and ubiquitousWeb 2.0 is a culture change

Collaborate don’t control Improvise, share, playUsers build value, the technology can let them inBe modular: use others’ stuff, let them use yoursBuild for user value - monetise later

Definition of web 2.0Web 2.0 is operationally defined as a combination of technologies (e.g. Ajax), applications (e.g. wiki) and values (e.g. user as a producer). These applications rely on the concept of the user as a producer: of content (blog, wiki, Flickr), of taste/emotion (Last.fm, de.li.cious), of contacts (MySpace), and of reputation/feedback (eBay, TripAdvisor).
