Web 2.0 - More than a feeling  

Web 2.0 is hard to define.  It is not a technology or a protocol or a standard, but an abstraction of how people and businesses use today's internet.  Sometimes called a revolution, Web 2.0 is about services delivered over the web.  The initial concept and design of Web 2.0 suggests an intelligent system that will support all aspects of human interaction in a virtual space.  The business model of Web 2.0 is to make money.  The below comparison is from 'What is Web 2.0' by Tim O'Reilly.
