The Collaborative Web 2.0


Let’s make this world a smaller place to live in. This statement about 10 years ago wasn’t awarded the seriously by many people but this statement now prevails the existence of any business today.

We have always been very good in some of the things & not so good in the others but unfortunately we believed that we can be the masters of all trade-arts.But the Internet brought around the most revolutionary changes in this thinking of the people.


As we see the example of HP & Compaq coming together on a common platform to give a world-beating services.

Web 2.0 is based on social software where the users not just consume the content but generate it.

Web 2.0 refers to second-generation of web-based services - social networking sites, wikis, blogs, User Generated Content (UGC) - that accentuate online collaboration and sharing among users. It is an arena where the web is a dominant platform compared to the desktop.

This new web environment 2.0 has become so much a part of our life that Time magazine named it as “The Person of the Year 2006” as You. Now Internet users are engaged in a two-way collaborative platform with an amazing array of web services like tagging, blogging, & social networking among others.

Web 2.0, seen by many as a confluence of technology, people, and their attitudes, has changed the way we think and use the Internet.
