What’s the technical definition of Web 2.0? From Tim O’Reilly:

Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an "architecture of participation," and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences.

So what’s different about Web 2.0?

• Ease of content contribution

• Commenting features

• Ability to syndicate through RSS

• Community building (network) through communication and collaboration

• Tagging and the addition of metadata
