Web 2.0
TECHNICAL

  The term Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory
  information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on World Wide Web. A Web 2.0
  site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as
  creators of user generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where
  users are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of
  Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted
  services, web applications and mashups.

SIMPLE

  Web 2.0 is a loosely defined intersection of web application features that facilitate
  participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and
  collaboration on the World Wide Web.
Wikis
Web sites developed collaboratively by a community of
 users, allowing any user to add and edit content.
