Two good quotes about Web 2.0 from O'Reilly's Web 2.0 Principles and Best Practices whitepaper (2006):
Web 2.0 is much more than just pasting a new user interface onto an old application. It's a way of thinking, a new perspective on the entire business of software--from concept through delivery, from marketing through support. Web 2.0 thrives on network effects: databases that get richer the more people interact with them, applications that are smarter the more people use then, marketing that is driven by user stories and experiences, and applications that interact with each other to form a broader computing platform.
And:
Web 2.0 is a set of economic, social, and technological trends that collectively form the basis for the next generation of the internet -- a more mature, distinctive medium characterized by user participation, openness, and network effects.
