Web2

Definition

Web2, also known as the "read-write web," refers to the modern era of the internet that emerged in the late 1990s and continues to the present day. Web2 is characterized by dynamic, interactive websites, social media platforms, cloud computing, and the rise of user-generated content. Unlike Web1, which was primarily informational, Web2 emphasizes user participation, social interaction, and personalized content delivery. Popular Web2 technologies and platforms include social media networks like Facebook and Twitter, video-sharing platforms like YouTube, e-commerce platforms like Amazon and eBay, and collaborative tools like Google Docs and Dropbox. Web2 has transformed the internet into a more interactive, social, and user-centric environment, enabling new forms of communication, collaboration, and digital innovation.
