What Web 2.0 has brought?

Web 2.0 is a term often used and the term is in the use when the user wants to emphasize connections, wiki solutions, cloud computing etc.
The question is - which are, actually, the effects of it.

The real effect is that everything is available to potential customers as in form of plug - in solutions, ie. there is no need that the user has some technical knowledge to set up a blog, using any service, etc., and still one of the main characteristics is that everything tends to be free.

Before, the user had to know HTML to regulate texts, possess some technical skills, and now he can make a blog on Blogger or Wordpress platform where the user-interface is user-friendly and can download to own domain, which can rent from them, set up a blog that can grow into with various applications in the proper site content.

Also, the solutions from one platform can be combined with others solutions to other platforms.

An example of how through out the process can have a proper site intranet and other tools for the organization is:

- The user via Wordpress or Yahoo leases the domain for example www.yourdomain.com

- Downloading the Wordpress plug - in the administration of the blog, etc..(Manual how to do all that can be viewed at the site www.becomeablogger.com)

- To facilitate work and interact with others, can use the Google service, Google Apps to own domain via www.yourdomain.com, email address, calendar, GTalk (IM) and also allow other users to use all applications which are existing on domain.

This is in addition to eliminate a need for technical knowledge and expensive hosting, allows user interaction and collaboration, and services like Google Sites allows you to make a true Intranet and services such as Google Documents, Knol, etc. almost all operations transfer from the computer to the online (the phenomenon Cloud computing).
