Everything You Need to Know About Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is a category of new Internet tools and technologies created around the idea that the people who consume media, access the Internet, and use the Web shouldn’t passively absorb what’s available; rather, they should be active contributors, helping customize media and technology for their own purposes, as well as those of their communities.

But Web 2.0 isn’t just the latest set of toys for geeks, it’s the beginning of a new era in technology — one that promises to help nonprofits operate more efficiently, generate more funding, and affect more lives.

These new tools include, but are by no means limited to, blogs, social networking applications, RSS, social networking tools, and wikis. On this page, you’ll find articles on a variety of Web 2.0 tools and technologies. We’ll continue to update this page, so be sure to check back to learn about the latest technologies for your organization.
