What is "Web 2.0"?

Some trivia: Tim O'Reilly coined the phrase "Web 2.0" at a conference in 2004 to symbolize the radical transformation of web applications from static read/write pages to interactive, collaborative, and participatory applications.

Here's a definition from Wikipedia, of course...

Web 2.0

jargon

A loosely defined term for web applications that go beyond displaying individual pages of static content and allow a community of users to interact with the site and each other by adding or updating the content.
