"Web 2.0" refers to a perceived second generation of web development and design, that facilitates communication, secure information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web.
Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and applications; such as social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies.

The term was first used by Dale Dougherty and Craig Cline and shortly after became notable after the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but rather to changes in the ways software developers and end-users utilize the Web. According to Tim O'Reilly:
“ Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as a platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.

Hello,

With this blog, I will try to find new wab 2.0 applications that will help me and you to organise ou work, our hobbies and households.

It should be clear to everyone that web 2.0 applications will revolutionize the way software was managed throughout the last decades.

It was quit simple : a company like Microsoft programmed an application, the sold it and we bought it (for a lot of money).

Nowadays, made possible through the use of open source standards, everyone can make a program and distribute it through the internet. Which is in a way fantastic because :

1. free often means completely free. Of course, if you are a professional user, then you will proably have to pay, but for the most of the users, a free account is enough


2. no distribution costs


3. no marketing costs


4. democratic : everyone can start it !


5. free updates : web 2.0 applications are online and updates are also online
