Web 2.0: is used to describe a way that the World Wide Web shares information. It was created in 1999 and a web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with other social networking sites such as Facebook and twitter.

Blogs: include posterous, blogger etc. the main idea of a blog is to create a profile of their work, images, music, files etc, its sometimes seen as a diary.

Online applications: can be any application that you can use to create something online without the need of downloading software. The only way this can be accessed is over the internet, so you need an internet connection and web user to utilise them, I good example would be ‘Spotify’, you can listen to all the music you like but only if you are connected to the internet. 

Cloud computing is use of computer resources in both hardware and software that is delivered as services over the network. Its simply uploading information to an account that you can access and time and anywhere, e.g. Google drive, work is uploaded on Google Drive and its stored on the network. ‘iCloud’ was created by Apple and this allows users store all kinds of data from music to images to applications on more than one device, so it’s a software linked with one account that’s on each device.
