What is Web 2.0? [|Wikipedia states] : "The term 'Web 2.0' describes the changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aim to enhance creativity, communications, secure information sharing, collaboration, and functionality of the web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web culture communities and hosted services (such as social-networking sites, video sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies) which aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing among users.
