| Web 2.0
|
| Definition
| A term applied to a movement in the World Wide Web from a collection of Web sites to a more mature computing platform serving Web applications to end users. The central idea of Web 2.0 is the repurposing and recombination of existing technologies—Ajax, Atom, Javascript, RSS, XML—to create Web based applications which rival desktop applications in terms of features and usability. Gradually, Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.
