Web 2.0 is basically an idea where it's not a single or multiple users serving data and entertainment to visitors, but rather where the users come and supply their own content. Dynamic content, vs static content of old.

It is a pretty bad buzz word, but it can be used to describe various websites such as facebook, myspace, youtube, etc.

A lot of people seem to confuse it with some kind of fancy dandy AJAX features on a website though, or some kind of circular 3Dfied glassy buttons, or white background with large bold font all styled up.

Personally I think Web 1.0 was the original hypertext system in academia from whence this whole thing sprang, Web 2.0 was the early Mosaic-based stuff I first encountered in the mid-90s when I heard there was something out there less irritating to use than Gopher and Usenet, Web 3.0 was the thing that first spread to the greater public on the wings of Netscape, and we are currently somewhere in the range of 7.0 or 8.0.

May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.
