10. What is Web 2.0?
“Could it be that the dot-com collapse
marked some kind of turning point for the
Web, such that a call to action such as “Web
2.0” might make sense? We agreed that it did,
and so Web 2.0 … was born.”
Tim O’Reilly (2004)

11. Living in a
Web 2.0
World
What Web 2.0 companies

“While the first wave of the Web was
closely tied to the browser, the
second wave extends applications
across the web and enables a new
generation of services and business
opportunities.” (O’Reilly, 2004)
