What is Web 2.0?

Here’s my personal concept of Web 2.0, a Web 2.0 site usually fits into one of the following types:

Community as the content - social networking: members share information, the community decides the value of that information and the community benefits. A two-way open sharing of information.
See: The Cluetrain Manifesto, Web 2.0 diagram, Oreilly Web 2.0 Article.
Examples: Digg (share tech links), 43 Things (share to do lists) and del.icio.us (share bookmarks).
Rich online applications - easy-to-use applications which take software which may have once been found on single desktops to a shared online space, independent of the computer you are using.
Examples: Flickr (photos), Writely (Word processor) and Backpack (organiser).

I’m sure alot of people will catch on throughout the year and start developing un-resourceful sites, spamming etc - it seems though that it’d be a huge resource for designers or people generally with researching benefits etc… Will you do something of your own for Web 2.0? Idolblog v W2?

It sorta is Web 2.0 already - with blogs, RSS, forums, members moderating the comments
