The phrase itself is attributed to the media OÂ'Reilly, the company that coined in 2003. Subsequently, the first Web 2.0 conference, which is held in 2004, brought widespread public awareness. A series of lectures sponsored by OÂ'Reilly if the media has made the term more popular than ever and has facilitated the adoption of it by many industry experts. The term as it has come to be used by the media OÂ'Reilly, refers to what many in the Internet industry perceive as the second wave of Web-based communities and hosted services, after the first wave of the communities that flourished during the initial Internet boom. These sites include social networking sites, wiki sites and folksonomies-all share the trait that encourage and facilitate collaboration and sharing of content among its many users.

Perhaps some of the confusion surrounding the use of Web 2.0 comes from the fact that TEM does not really mean a change or an update of the technical specification of the World Wide Web as we come to know. Instead, most appropriately describes the broad changes that many system developers have been applied in the way they use the existing web platform. The founder of the media OÂ'Reilly Tim OÂ'Reilly himself has called a business revolution in the computer industry that was caused by the move to the Internet as a platform. Also goes on to say that attempts to deal with the rules for success in the new platform is an integral part of Web 2.0.

In his own blog, which can be found in rel = "nofollow" href = "http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2005/10/web_20_compact_definition.html"> http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2005/10/web_20_compact_definition.html, O'Reilly wrote still more detailed definition of the term refers to compact and Web 2.0 as his vision of the network as a platform that includes all devices connected to it. According to him, Web 2.0 applications are applications that are in the best position to take advantage of the greater part of the inherent benefits of that platform. The means by which this can be achieved is through the delivery of software to the public which is updated continuously and generates its contents through the fusion of data from many different sources, which may include individual end user. Web 2.0 applications in turn generate their own data, as well as services in a way that other users can easily mix according to your own needs. This paradigm clearly goes beyond the nature of the Web 1.0 in a network that is based on OÂ'Reilly called "(a) of the architecture of participation". The end result is a much richer web experience the end user through applications that actually improve most widely used.

To further illustrate the differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 can help to view Web 1.0 as focused primarily on connectivity between computers and a way to make technology work better for computers, while Web 2.0 seeks by linking people and make technology work better for people.

While some people would disagree with this latest example-and in fact argue the opposite is actually more accurate, the fact is that Web 2.0 is increasingly dependent on entries vary from its users and the line between people and technology is increasingly blurred as time goes on.

While mediation team remains-and will probably remain for the foreseeable future next part of the new paradigm, using the collective input of users to achieve continuous improvement of the particular application on the basis of the interaction of the same users "with him.

The apparent shift in focus from "technology" of "people" is perhaps best exemplified by the change in the technological demands of Â'90s to the present. While many users previously have focused their demands on the solutions to the technological demands very specific, the clamor of today is overwhelming for applications that allow the end user intervention and more input.

The controversy breaks out as to the validity of the term Web 2.0, but by all indications, it seems that's here to stay.
