The concept of "Web 2.0" thus began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O'Reilly VP, believed that the web has not lost any importance; in fact with new and exciting applications coming up daily, it was assuming far more significance than it had in the past. The companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have several things in common and the collapse was actually a turning point for the web. In consonance with this theory, they agreed to coin a phrase known as Web 2.0 referring to proposed second generation web based services. They used this term as a title for a series of conferences resulting in the birth of the Web 2.0 Conference. It is hinted to be an upgrade over the World Wide Web and emphasizes online collaboration and sharing among users.

• Innovation in assembly of systems and sites is "open source" development
• Lightweight business models enabled by content and service syndication

These differing but complementary approaches provide Web 2.0 with information-storage, creation, and dissemination capabilities that go beyond what the public formerly expected of web-sites.

      There still exists huge controversy on the Web 2.0 and the web based services it can offer– where some believe it to be a marketing buzzword others swear by its wisdom. Whatever it might be, the Web 2.0 like several other critical concepts is flexible without a rigid boundary line.
