Web 2.0 sows grassroots collaboration (ZDNet)
"The key part of Web 2.0 is that there is something about these new tools that enable new practices of collaboration," said John Seely Brown, a consultant and former chief scientist of Xerox, who spoke at the Collaborative Technology Conference in Boston last week. "Web 2.0 is a profoundly participatory medium." Though it lacks a precise definition, Web 2.0 generally refers to Web services that let people collaborate and share information online. In contrast to the first generation of Web offerings, Web 2.0 applications are more interactive, giving people an experience more akin to a native desktop application as opposed to a static Web page."

Are you sure the title shouldn't be "sows"Web 2.0 sews grassroots collaboration (ZDNet)
But the concept of "dynamic content" existed from Web 0.1 in the form of CGI and later PHP. So Web 2.0 surely must be something else! Who knows? It's better to just invest in Web 2.0 anyway because it leverages collaborative advantageous empowerment, or something :)Web 2.0 sows grassroots collaboration (ZDNet)
