Question by Kurt: what does “web 2.0″ really mean/stand for?
I have seen websites saying “web 2.0 enabled” and “web 2.0 technology” when they are no different from any other site. What gives?

Best answer:

Answer by stevensell
Somewhere, a group of people had a business meeting and heard that “web 2.0″ sounds innovative. Then, thinking that their website should “pop” more, they put the phrase up there to make it more proactive and outside-the-box. A job well done.

it mostly is about the behind-the-scenes money-making ad crap that google and yahoo are doing to profit from and otherwise manipulate the internet. See list from link referenced below. (web 1.0 compared to web 2.0)….

This article is an attempt to clarify just what we mean by Web 2.0.

In our initial brainstorming, we formulated our sense of Web 2.0 by example:
Web 1.0 Web 2.0
DoubleClick –> Google AdSense
Ofoto –> Flickr
Akamai –> BitTorrent
mp3.com –> Napster
Britannica Online –> Wikipedia
personal websites –> blogging
evite –> upcoming.org and EVDB
domain name speculation –> search engine optimization
page views –> cost per click
screen scraping –> web services
publishing –> participation
content management systems –> wikis
directories (taxonomy) –> tagging (“folksonomy”)
stickiness –> syndication

Simply put, Web 2.0 is a perceived transition of the web to web applications. Web 2.0 is the next generation of technology solutions where interactive content is the norm. There is no agreement on exactly what Web 2.0 means, depending on who you are speaking with, you may receive different explanations. At it’s heart, Web 2.0 is about the maturity of the Web and businesses that are thriving online. While many refer to Web 2.0 as companies that employ powerful web technologies, the key components of the new web are said to include: the web as a platform, collaboration, and syndication.
