Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Web 2.0?
A:
Web 1.0 is all about linking documents to each other. Web 2.0 is all about linking people to each other and being able to address the issues of the contribution of individuals and knowing who those individuals are, finding out about them, rather than just treating the web as a static network or graph of anonymous documents. And then, of course, Web 3.0 is all about treating the web as a graph of data, in fact linked data. But Web 2.0 is really trying to get the human dimension into the web.
