from Wikipedia:

"The phrase Web 2.0 was coined by O'Reilly Media to refer to a supposed second generation of Internet-based services that let people collaborate and share information online in a new way—such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies. O'Reilly Media, in collaboration with MediaLive International, used the phrase as a title for a series of conferences and since then it has become a popular, if ill-defined and often criticized, buzzword amongst the technical and marketing communities..."

Adding on to what at2004 quoted, Web 2.0 has a few trademarks. There are a number of major elements which are usually considered representative of Web 2.0

  • Reliance on contribution of images, video or  information from users. For example, Flickr, Youtube and Yedda all rely on the reader's contribution.
  • Appliance resemblance. Frequently Web 2.0 websites will resemble a layout usually attributed to desktop programs. This includes the ability to reload information without reloading the entire page (Google Calendar).
  • Sleek and Simplified appearance.

My understanding is that Web 2.0 is a website which is an interactive application instead of Web 1.0 which was just static webpages.

 

So basically any application on the internet which uses database and interactive applications to provide a customized experience for the user.

 

a technology bubble.

No, that's not correct.  If that were the definition, Web 2.0 would have started back in 1995.

from wikipedia:

 

Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.
