Web 2.0 is the first evolution of the web that emerged around 2005, when blogs, forums, and sites that allowed users to interact with the site itself began to proliferate.
Specifically, as early as 1999 Dancy Di Nucci, a famous web designer of the time, coined this term to define a new web logic that does not see the user passively viewing the content of the web page, as it was before but rather interacting with it, commenting, and creating content.
It is the advent of forums and the forerunners of modern social media.
The term web 2.0 also defines the web logic that involves using new programming languages such as PHP to create applications that allow access to the site and management of its contents: the CMS.
Differences between web 1.0, 2.0, and the advent of web 3.0
The web 1.0 is the progenitor of web pages. Many gifs, many redundant contents but no possibility to interact with them.
The only action that the user could perform was to consult the page itself.
The web 2.0 emphasizes on tags, comments and of course social media.
A breath of possibilities given, as mentioned, by the advent of systems that allow users to generate content, advanced and dynamic programming languages that foresee the insertion of new elements within the page itself.
The keywords of web 2.0 are: interaction, sharing, and participation!
We are now at a historical moment where even web 2.0 is saturating the market and we are already in the revolution of web 3.0.
Hyper-targeted sponsored content, data entered into a global database, artificial intelligences and semantic algorithms (Google's is one too).
