What is web 2.0? As I've been shopping around for designers etc, this phrase often comes up and I have no idea what they are refering to. Is this some sort of upgraded design feature that the internet is moving into? Sorry if the answer is obvious.:smiley_:

Web 2.0 is just a tag referring to the new direction in the internet through the like likes of Flash video, podcasting (RSS), social networks, and greater desktop to web integration.

It is term to classify the new web characteristics, not really a feature.
