Identify something that you think best demonstrates the web 2.0 and explain why ?

One of the main factors that web 2.0 demonstrates is Hybritity through common interest. Individuals from across the globe like China, Africa and Mexico can go onto sites like youtube and watch videos or listen to music of the same interest. An Asian person can be listening to some ones rap and be commenting on how well it is performed. An Afro Canadian person can be watching clips of martial arts from Brazil and learning from it.

In essence web 2.0 provides a pillar for knowledge and networking by individuals communicating and developing relationships through common interests through internet engines like facebook, myspace or twitter. It helps to disfigure the stereotypical ties of one’s culture, and pave the way of new forms of though and ideas, therefore making it a norm, not a shocker for an Indian or an Asian person to be rapping.
