1. First of all, know that "Web 2.0" is a buzzword most commonly used by marketing professionals to explain why their new Web service is great. There is no set definition, but there is a certain... feeling. For the most part, Web 2.0 refers to the philosophy that a Web site can be dynamic, changeable and user-generated.

In this way they grow organically. Web 1.0 would be something more like travel.org. It provides a basic one-dimensional service and gives you some information.
