Web 2.0

What is Web 1.0?
Mostly a space for web browsing and reading from 1993 - 2003.
'It's hard to define Web 1.0 for several reasons. First, Web 2.0doesn't refer to a specific advance in Web technology. Instead, Web 2.0 refers to a set of techniques for Web page design and execution. Second, some of these techniques have been around since the World Wide Web first launched, so it's impossible to separate Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 in a time line. The definition of Web 1.0 completely depends upon the definition of Web 2.0.'
