Web 2.0-What does it really mean?

This is to be a rather short blog today, especially compared to my first blog posting. I started going through the paperwork and notes from the ARSL conference to get ideas for this blog and for my library when I came across a quote that got me thinking.



During the conference, I attended Sonja Plummer-Morgan's Web 2.0 session. I attended to see how Web 2.0 related to small and rural libraries and how we could use them to our advantage for both the library and the patrons. Within the first few minutes, Sonja made the statement:


"Web 2.0 means nothing. It is nonsense." She clarified by stating everyone has their own definition and made some comments about Web 3.0 and 4.o and how some might not be all the way there so they would label themselves as Web 2.5. It was amusing, to say the least, but it raised the question 'what does web 2.0 mean to you?'



So, tell me: What does Web 2.0 mean to you?
