I found and read a report by Paul Anderson in which he goes through the history behind Web 2.0. According to him, this term was coined in 2004 by Dale Daougherty, the vice-president of O'Reilly Media Inc. Web 2.0 makes reference to a group of technologies which have become popular nowadays, such as blogs or wikis. All these increase and facilitate the socially connected web in which everyone is able to add or edit information they want to share.
The inventor of the Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, in an interview for a podcast was asked whether Web 2.0 was different to what might be called Web 1.0 he replied:
"Totally not. Web 1.0 was all about connecting people. It was an interactive space, and I think Web 2.0 is of course a piece of jargon, nobody even knows what it means. If web 2.0 is blogs and wikis, then that is people to people. But that was what the Web was supposed to be all along. And in fact, you know, this 'Web 2.0', it means using the standards which have been produced by all these people working on 'Web 1.0'"
