The concept of 'Web 2.0' was born in a conference brainstorming session with Tim O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty.
Soon after the collapse of the Dot-com bubble in 2001, it almost seems that it was inevitable. Making way for many sites to appear with a new generation of applications, tools and an awareness of what is possible on the internet and the few sites that survived and thrived all seemed t0 have some things in common.
Even though it is felt that 'Web 2.0' 'does capture the widespread sense that there's something qualitatively different about today's web'.[1] Tim Bray also argues that the internet is beyond 2.0 considering it to be more like 8.0 in comparison to other software versions and referring to memes as 'marketing hype'.[2]
