Web 2.0 is the shift on the world wide web from simply absorbing content (by "surfing" through static websites) to participating in and creating content (through the use of blogs, wikis, collaborative documents, etc.). We 2.0 is also representative of the shift from twentieth century thinking to twenty-first century processing.
