- Identify something that you think best demonstrates web 2.0 and explain why.

As an interactive space, Web 2.0 allows for information sharing on the World Wide Web via various mediums including creative communities, social networking sites, and video-sharing sites. Users can interact with each other, change information and content with minimal limitations. A Web 2.0 application that is widely used today is Facebook.

Facebook encourages user to share/create/edit information. It is made possible by permitting members to upload content to their own personal profile, personalising their space through the functions of status, photos, notes, and the information section. In addition, it is effortless to connect with other users. Members can easily interact with each other by looking up friends or make new friends through the search bar. Furthermore, programmes such as Groups and Fan Page promotes people, bands, artists, corporations, and others which allows for almost total access to the web. The ability to post links also illustrates this. With services like this, Facebook invites and incorporates other spaces, creating a unified communication system and making information easier to find as well as share. Thus, Facebook hosts features that best demonstrates Web 2.0 due to its total access, and exclusively user centred interactive information sharing.
