With Web 2.o,  there is no hard boundary  but has a gravitational core.  The focus of strategic position of Web 2.o  is the platform of the web. The core competencies: consists of services, not package software, architecture of participation, cost-effective scalability, remixable data source and data transformations, software above the level of a single device, and harnessing collective intelligence. Web 2.0 was created to evolve web based communities, social networking sites, blogs, tagging, and wikis. In my organization I am not sure what system the HR Department uses but I definitely know we are  not Web 2.o. I do not think we will be Web 2.o for many many years.
