Interactive media theory where an infrastructure focusing on content creation, management, and dissemination is built for the user to generate that content in a community framework.
Urban Dictionary falls under the Web 2.0 theory because they built an infrastructure to create, manage, and disseminate the definition of slang terms generated by the user and ranked by the community.

A buzzword used by dullards to seem hip and "in" on "latest" technology, in hopes that no one will be perceptive enough to see that what's "Web 2.0" isn't new at all, but rather a catch-all term for websites that give people imagined self-importance by letting them comment on and share content with other equally moronic readers.
OMG this website is so Web 2.0! Check it out there's a button to post this to my facebook, myspace, and twitter! Now all my friends will see how hip I am and maybe someone will finally love me!

Pretty much the current generation of the internet and this will probably last til about 2012. It is the internet where blogging, social networking, forums, wikis, video sharing, webcams, sharing, getting pwned, etc. takes place.
Web 1.0 was the primitive internet where you went to campbells soup.com and there it is. Web 2.0 is pretty much where you can read and post blogs about soup and share info about your favorite soup on your Facebook profile. There is a Web 3.0 coming into the future which will probably be the iPhone Web, in which the internet might be in different places than a computer.

Refers to the internet in terms of blogging, open source programming, RSS and XML programming among others. Web 2.0 is a general discription of web use which eschews heretofore traditional concepts of centralized, "hunt by favoritets" type search and response techniques in favor of aggregators and blogging interconnects and decentralized community systems.
