Reply:The term was introduced by Tim O'Reilly, when describing the set of new services and technologies that have appeared on the web recently (see link below).





I.e., Flickr, Frappr, Google, Firefox, Wikipedia, AJAX and XML are considered Web 2.0 - Internet Explorer, Yahoo! and Microsoft are considered somewhat "old fashioned", and thus not Web 2.0. Although, with Yahoo!'s recent revamp of their services, they are probably trying to upgrade themselves.





What Web 2.0 services seem to have in common, is that they are user-centric - they rely on users themselves to build the service (most notably Wikipedia). Frappr would also be a good example of this, as it combines Google Maps and Flickr to a new service.





Some also believe the entire Web 2.0 is nothing but hype - see http://flocksucks.wordpress.com/ for an example. "The Register" recently published a sarcastic list of what people think Web 2.0 really is: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11/11/...





There's even a website that lets you vote over other websites - are they Web 2.0 or not? http://web2ornot.com/
