Social networking is the best-known use of the Web 2.0 — just consider the popularity of MySpace and YouTube. Today, Web sites are so interactive and collaborative we now have a new way of communicating and staying in touch. Because of this, many have been wondering where the Web 2.0 — the latest evolution of the World Wide Web — is heading. Social networking will, in my opinion, continue to dominate the Web 2.0. In fact, its dominance will be enhanced by the capability of using mobile phones to input images and videos to social networking sites.
