According to wikipedia, the term Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration on the World Wide Web.
A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them.
Tools of Web 2.0 include

I was in fact surprised when I learnt my neighborhood marriage hall has got a face book page of its own.
Out of curiosity I visited http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nagachandra-Kalyana-Mantapa/143335862443747 and also learnt that they have a web page and an email id. They are available on http://nckmnmh.blogspot.com/
I guess businesses are recognizing the power of internet and harnessing it. Social media has replaced or more optly killed Encyclopedia, Overhead Projector, Carbon Paper, Map and what not.
People who once banned youtube in classrooms are now using it to teach the students.
The examples can be many but the concept is one. use the web2.0 or be left behind!!!
