Some examples of Web 2.0

As mentioned in the previous post, an example of Web 2.0 would be an application such as Flikr which allows the mass upload and distribution of photos to millions of other users worldwide. Another example would be BitTorrent. In web 1.0 a user may download an mp3 from one source where as with a BitTorrent file, a number of users, or "seeders" share the upload for others to download.
An example that most users of the internet would be farmiliar with would be Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia thats information is not restricted by the contribution of selected persons like the original Bratanica Online is. Anybody and everybody that has an internet connection can contribute to the ever expanding online encyclopedia.

We see examples of Web 2.0 everyday that we browse the internet, many people are just not aware of this.
