With all its hype and vigorous self promotion, the term Web 2.0 is real and part of a massive interactive movement that companies are adopting and chasing. In its wake, entire industries are being left behind, like the music and newspaper industries, while new ones are forming on the backs of new technology, social networks and advertising models. At the heart of this movement are many websites themselves – the way they are built, managed and marketed. New web-based applications are allowing companies the ability to rapidly deploy feature-rich websites that inherently take advantage of entire Web 2.0 toolsets, such as blogging, podcasting, interactivity, social networking, paid ad placement, search engine optimization, RSS feeds, wikis, and online collaboration tools, just to name a few.
