BANGALORE, INDIA: Web 2.0 is no longer a buzzword or a myth. Since its emergence it has revolutionized the way Web should be used. With the help of technologies like JavaScript, XML, ASP.Net, PHP/Perl, My SQL, etc, it opened different avenues for various software companies and gave the Web a different way of handling data. It took its time to find its belonging, but now is among the hottest trends to look out for. It's already creating a huge roar in the enterprise segment after being a success story on the commercial and social front.

What makes it hot?

It literally took the 'tech' out of 'technology' and made a common platform for all of us to collaborate, share, and interact. A layman can post his views in a Blog without having to know a single word of HTML. Now users can not only access data but also contribute to it. This Rich Internet Architecture for using the Web in a participatory manner has caused the corporate world to pay so much attention to it. So much so that this year, most of the corporate world was trying to figure out how to integrate Web 2.0 features within their own Intranets and portals.

The story so far:

Sites like Orkut, YouTube, and FlickR made social networking over the Web a reality.

All major software vendors of 'Web 2.0' enable their collaborative solutions.

Enterprises started adding features like blogging, RSS feeds, and Wiki into their own portals for their employees.

The concept of Web OSs came into the market, allowing users to access any operating system through a Web browser.

There are endless ways through which an enterprise can leverage the power of Web 2.0---integrating applications in a web browser, allowing users to modify content in real time, allowing multiple users to interact, aggregating content from other sites into your own, hosting desktops on the Web, providing online videos, audioblogging, webinars, blogging are just a few possibilities that come to mind.

Nice article about Web 2.o. There is another example of web 2.0, WiZiQ.com which is a free virtual classroom.
