  "Web 2.0" is the conglomeration of the WWW technologies which have been
developed over the years.

  "Web 1.0" is: You request a webpage, you get a webpage (with fixed
contents). That's it.

  Gmail is a good example of "Web 2.0": The contents of the page are
updated on request, from dynamic information in the server side. Also,
you can send information (such as, for example, a WIP email) to the server
and it can store it and show it to you later. All this without having to
reload pages or jump between different pages.

  Many people have the opinion that "Web 2.0" is just a hype word.
It really isn't. It really has some concrete ideas behind it.

  No, it's Web 1.0 with the various dynamic interactivity technologies
which have appeared in the WWW during the years.
