Web 2.0 is a set of principles and practices that tie together the multitude of sites that show and demonstrate the power of the World Wide Web. Web 2.0 relies on participation rather than software – the more people that use the site the better it gets. Wikipedia is an example of participation – a collective harnessing of the intelligence of the users. It is a virtual collection of information and more so an experimentation in trust and unison to impart knowledge.

For many, Web 2.0 embraces the slogan “don’t fight the Internet”: designing and developing applications and services that revolve around the unique features of the Internet. For others, they seem to subscribe to building applications and expecting the Internet to suit them – effectively their slogan is “fight the Internet”.
