The term Web 2.0 refers to the second stage of the world wide web. A stage of interactivity and communication amongst millions of users. It was in 2004 at a conference hosted by O'reilly Media that it was suggested that the internet was evolving with changing rules and business models.
Web 2.0 allows the end user to have much greater participation within online applications. For example, through the kodak online store a user can upload and print their images, this is an example of web 1.0. A web 2.0 application such as flick allows for the mass uploading of images from multiple users that can be shared and viewed by millions of others.
Essentially Web 1.0 is designed for computer interaction to make technology more efficient while Web 2.0 can be interpreted as designed for the users, allowing more connectivity and interaction.
