**Can you define Web 2.0?**
Tim O'Reilly, on defining web 2:


 * //Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that **make the most of the intrinsic advantages** of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that **gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources**, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an **"architecture of participation,"** and **going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences**.//
