Abstract

"The development of the internet has resulted in the expansion of a group of technologies known as Web 2.0." O'Reilly Media first used the phrase "Web 2.0" in 2004 to refer to web applications that allow for online collaboration, contribution, social networking, communication, and dissemination of user-generated material. The term "Web 2.0" was created by O'Reilly Media. The term "social networking sites" refers to websites with user profiles that enable users to maintain social relationships with one another by viewing, visiting, and sharing their lists of social connections with other members of the site.
