What is This Web 2.0 Jazz?

You may have heard the buzzword Web 2.0 lately. Yet, there is a mis-conception as to what “Web 2.0″ truely means. At Loadsys, we don’t really care what the definition is, but rather what the person means when they say it.

Web 2.0 truely means the idea of collaboration between people on the web. User driven information and communication so to speak. A good example of this are sites like MySpace, a friends communication portal or even Wikipedia, which is a user driven encyclopedia where content is added by anyone all over the world.

In others eyes however, Web 2.0 means a different thing. To the design world it means sleeker more modern designs with blocks that have rounded corners. These designs are less boxy and are visually soft to the touch. Sites like YouTube or CakePHP.

In our eyes, Web 2.0 is just a buzzword and means whatever someone wants it to mean. However, the concept of a changing Web is here and we feel it is for the better.
