• Web 2.0 – coined by Darcy DiNucci on January 1999. In her
article “Fragmented Future” she wrote:
“The web we know now, which loads into a browser window
in essentially static screenfuls, is only an embryo of the Web
to come. The first glimmerings of Web 2.0 are beginning to
appear, and we are just starting to see how that embryo might
develop.”
