Features of Web 2.0

➢ Folksonomy - It allows users to categorize and classify/arrange information using freely chosen keywords
(e.g., tagging). Popular social networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use tags that start with
the pound sign (#). This is also referred to as hashtag.

➢ Rich User Experience - Content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input. An example would be a
website that shows local content. In the case of social networking sites, when logged on, your account is used to
modify what you see in their website.

➢ User Participation - The owner of the website is not the only one who is able to put content. Others are able
to place a content of their own by means of comment, reviews, and evaluation. Some websites allow readers to
comment on an article, participate in a poll, or review a specific product (e.g., [Link], online stores).

➢ Software as a Service - Users will subscribe to a software only when needed rather than purchasing them.
This is a cheaper option if you do not always need to use a software. For instance, Google Docs is a free web
based application that allows the user to create and edit word processing and spreadsheet documents online.
