WEB 2.0 Examples

An example of web 2.0 that is commonly used would be www.google.com. the Google website was never sold to be used, or packaged to be loaded. It isn't anything like the older software. google also doesn't have different downloadable versions. its always available online, and constantly improving.
Also, the release of torrents - BitTorrent is now well known and constantly growing. BitTorrent uses p2p (peer to peer) which is taking a big step forward - moving closer to internet decentralisation. one of the key principles of web 2.0 is that the service gets better the more people use it. Torrents rely on more people sharing the files so that more people are able to download and upload at a faster rate - making the service better.
even though Google, and BitTorrent are two compeltly different things found on the internet. The one thing they will always have in common is that they are now seen as examples of Web 2.0
