The article in question has the suggestive title "Web 2.0: it's Internet that is beeing reinvented!".

However, what's really Web 2.0? Pierre Chappaz give us some aspects of this new phase of internet growth and help us to understand what is happening in what is already called the new leap forward in internet use as a working tool as well as - and mainly - as a mean of information.

The expression Web 2.0 comprises, actually, different realities: a new wave of creation of Internet websites, important technological evolutions, and a behaviour changing of users that, from simply readers, become information producers.*

A visitor is no more only a reader, as he organizes his way the information he needs and shares it within open spaces, or on platforms, to other visitors or to a community of visitors.

New services that use more recent technologies (Ajax, RSS) are transforming internet websites in creators and content promoters.

Thanks to this, internet retake its big dream of a shared space as well as collaborative. Blogs, collective publications of information, photos, videos and themes about technological aspects contribute to internet comeback to the effervescence of its firt years. See: Interesting Links and Notes
