Abstract

Web 2.0 is a term that has come into widespread use in recent years to describe the emerging social dynamic that characterizes the creation and consumption of web content (O’Reilly 2005). The concept of Web 2.0 involves a new way of understanding the relationship between agents that play a role in the production, marketing, distribution, and utilization of digital content and highlights the steadily converging relationship between producer and consumer. Sociologist Alvin Toffler (1980) perceived this convergence and coined the term “prosumer.”
