Web 2.0, why are you so controversial? And do you have something to do with Virtual Communities?

« Web 2.0 is a piece of jargon » said Tim Berners-Lee (2006), inventor of the World Wide Web.
Whilst some argue that Web 2.0 is just a marketing term misused by numerous companies to appear more technologically advanced, professional and efficient, others justify its existence and use to emphasize that today’s Web has a slightly different orientation and technological accessibility than early versions. The distinction between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 is vaguer than ever. For me, the notions of “1.0” and “2.0” are different, have different objectives and provide different user options.
