__Web 2.0 definition from__ [|Shambles:] The term "Web 2.0" (pronounced "web two point Oh") was conceived in 2005 to describe a new breed of websites that use newer web authoring tools, are low learning curves (for the user) and support a collaborative environment .. ... usually free and usually just all done in a web browser
