    web2.0 is a concept that don't have accurate definition .
    Its feature is user generated content and user get involved in the content creation, sharing, interconnection .
    Blogs, sns, social bookmark, tube site are typical web2.0 site .

    Web 2.0 Means Engaing the visitors by providing Dynamic content and not static content

    Also other thing associated with web2.0 is RIA (Rich Internet Application
    - Faster browser loading (Ajax)
    - Using the services without having installed it on PC (Bookmarks, Google spreadsheets)

    Thinks of not having a OS, just go to website and you PC is OS loaded , Just an imagination WEBx.x may have

    Here is an interesting video, and its first few minutes describe what Web 2.0 is... >> http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n38/milener2/?action=view&current=Web2-0_24mins.flv

    Own a blog where you don't have to code in HTML or Javascript, and no longer manually change links, then its Web 2.0

    If your site uses Site Syndication for distributing content, like Atom or RSS, then its Web 2.0

    If your site allows users to interact easily, like in a forum, then its Web 2.0

    Any new web technology that was not available

    in the year 2000 (when the dot com bubble popped) but can be seen today is Web 2.0

    And now... people want Web 3.0... Coming soon to the PC near you Web 3.0

    Web 3.0, a phrase coined by John Markoff of the New York Times in 2006, refers to a supposed third generation of Internet-based services that collectively comprise what might be called 'the intelligent Web'—such as those using semantic web, microformats, natural language search, data mining, machine learning, recommendation agents, and artificial intelligence technologies—which emphasize machine-facilitated understanding of information in order to provide a more productive and intuitive user experience.

    Some proposals for Web 3.0 include: 3d browsing, increased bandwidth, and artificial intelligence.

    Nova Spivack defines Web 3.0 as the third decade of the Web (2010–2020) during which he suggests several major complementary technology trends will reach new levels of maturity simultaneously including:
