At the moment a lot of discussions going on questioning the existence of web 2.0 and comparison with web 1.0. I have try to distinguish the earlier version of web also termed as web 1.0 and web 2.0 on the basis of the following attributes
Differences are as follows:
Web 1.0 and...
1.Static web pages Dynamic Web pages
2.Non Interactive participation Active Participation of the user
3. Content published by the owner only Opens contents to be used & reused
4. Not updated frequently Updated quite often.
Web 2.0..
1. Dynamic Web pages
2. Active Participation of the user
3. Opens contents to be used & reused
