Web 2.0
A vague catch-all term for a new generation of web sites, which share some or all of a set of modern traits: Free exchange of data between sites, and creative re-purposing of other sites' data; content generated by large numbers of users; continual, iterative redevelopment; use of 'open source' technologies; provision of web based services, a similar, simple, aesthetic. The "2.0" part is meant to signify the way in which computer software versions are named, meaning the first comprehensive revision of a product.
