Here is Randi's definition of Web 2.0. //** "For the greater part of the Internet’s existence normal everyday people like you and I just were passive consumers only being able to read its content. But several years back the way we use the Internet changed drastically with the development of Web 2.0. Now we no longer passively take in information from the Internet; we have the ability to create it! Some of the ways of doing this is thru blogs, wikis, podcasts and vodcasts. There are many Web 2.0 tools out there that are totally free." **//

Here is Wikipedia's definition of Web 2.0. [] //** "The term Web 2.0 is commonly associated with web applications that facilitate interactive [|information sharing], [|interoperability], [|user-centered design],[|[1]] 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. Examples of Web 2.0 include [|social-networking sites], [|blogs], [|wikis], [|video-sharing sites], [|hosted services], [|web applications], [|mashups] and [|folksonomies]." **//
