More immediately, Web 2.0 is the era when people have come to realize that it's not the software that enables the web that matters so much as the services that are delivered over the web. Web 1.0 was the era when people could think that Netscape (a software company) was the contender for the computer industry crown; Web 2.0 is the era when people are recognizing that leadership in the computer industry has passed from traditional software companies to a new kind of internet service company. The net has replaced the PC as the platform that matters, just as the PC replaced the mainframe and minicomputer.

Web 2.0 is essentially the next generation of internet compliance. Sites that were once known as web 1.0 were often referred to as static and limited, with the emergence of web 2.0 a lot of old sites were ‘re-created’ to suit today’s needs and expectations; with sites, no longer static and limited, but file sharing attractive and entertaining to no end. 2.0 made way for blog, commenting, file sharing and distributing, audio, links without search engines and much more.
In 2008, we began to see the end of Web 1.0 as several first-generation Web companies are either collapsing, or beginning to wheeze heavily. Client and client based sites and companies rely on their customers to be happy and secure with what web pages they see, and thus the use of ‘widgets’ and other web 2.0 software and programs were needed. ‘Flash’ was a big part of web 2.o creating dynamic look and feel for web designs, as did the need for flash player in order to view these pages, alongside with advances in old technology with sites such as ‘Flicker’ and ‘Facebook’.
