First, What is Web1.0?
"Web1.0" is a coined term used only retroactively to refer to the web before the recent explosion of users.

The distinguishing feature of Web 1.0 is that it is a vast resource from which one can quickly access information. Compared to Web 2.0, it is considered relatively static. As vast as the web was ten years ago, it tended to be "read only" for most users and was used to inform the individual consumer. Think of our Scarecrow; he dreams of all that he could do if he "only had a brain." (Now enjoy one of the fruits of the web: a never-before-seen version of "If I Only Had a Brain.")

The Wizard convinces the Scarecrow that he has that capacity after all. It is as if he is suddenly tapped into some massive database from which he can retrieve information at will. As a single user accessing the knowledge database, however, the Scarecrow, is basically only a Web 1.0 user.

**So what is so different about Web 2.0?**
