Making the Web Work for You
Quote from Kelly Driscoll, 2007

Web 1.0 = Read Only (concept) Web 2.0 = Read/Write (concept) Reading is easy, Publishing is easy
 * Have content, someone reads, adds more content - interaction
 * "...a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an "architecture of participation," and going beyond the page metaphor of WEb 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences." ......[|Tim O'Reilly, 2005]
