Lately there has been a lot of buzz surrounding Web 2.0. There are many great posts and articles on this – Wired, Om Malik, and O’Reilly.

The pendulum is swinging back to network computing – applications can be built on a browser that can actually have more power than a client-side app. Tools such as AJAX and Ruby on Rails are pushing this envelope. Even Microsoft is jumping on board with their introduction of Windows Live (great summary here).

With wide spread broadband access along with powerful new tools, true business applications are coming to the browser. Salesforce.com is a great example of Web 1.0 technology – look for them to continue to expand into Web 2.0 technologies with tools on their AppExchange platform.

Some other great examples include google maps, google suggest, a word processor, and many more!
