Around 2004 the name Web 2.0 became a frequent phenomenon around the world. This was
Tim O'Reillys conference around the topic. This has made many people speculate in if there is a difference between O'Reillys new Web 2.0 and the old Web 1.0 and if the Web 2.0 was really a new web. It can be hard to find clear borders between the two facts and maybe there are no really definite separation between them. We can look at Web 2.0 as a development of Web 1.0. But I will try to show some differences between the two.
When it comes to Web 1.0 internet pages were controlled by web masters. It was the web masters responsibility to update the pages. With Web 2.0 you can still have a web master who does this, but the consumers are also invited to contribute. As the video says people gather and interact. As O'Reilly says it is collective intelligence. I see it as the web masters are not the ones with the correct answer, they do not know everything. Not one person is the best to run a page online, but several persons together. Together they (or we) are collecting information, experience and knowledge and publishing it. Together everyone is making sure to update, give information and practise publishing.
