Web 2.0 • Definition 2 … commonly associated with web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design … and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site gives its users the free choice to interact or collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumer) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumer) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. - Wikipedia - Web 2.0
