“Sites need to be able to interact in one single, universal space.”
-Tim Berners-Lee

“Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as 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 – Oct 1st 2005
