Thank You!
Photo sharing Web 2.0 sites enable users to upload and share photos, customise photo galleries, and view animated online slideshows. Flickr is an example of such a photosharing site: http://www.flickr.com/
A Wiki enables users to create and edit Web pages using a simplified markup language such as html coding or a WYSIWYG editor within the browser. Wikis are commonly used to create collaborative websites, contribute to a body of knowledge (such as Wikibooks), and for note taking. Wikipedia http://www.wikipedia.org is one of the best-known wikis.
Social networking sites empower users to build social links with others who share similar interests. Social networking services provide various means by which users interact, including e-mail, instant messaging and blogs. Many provide photo gallery services and ways of searching for others they might know or who share similar interests. FaceBook (http://www.facebook.com/)and MySpace  (http://www.myspace.com/) enjoy the greatest market share, with MySpace generally appealing to a younger demographic than FaceBook.

Twitter (http://twitter.com/) is a microblogging service
in which users post brief messages of no more than 140 characters (tweets) to broadcast late breaking news or what they are doing at that moment. The service works on the principle of followers, and in this respect it is also a social networking service.
A Blog (AKA "weblog") is an online journal maintained by a user who posts (blogs) regular updates about events, social issues or personal commentary. Blogs are primarily text based but most support other kinds of media. Blogs provide a means for others to post comments in response to blog entries. Wordpress and Blogger are examples of blogging sites that provide free space for users: http://denisewood.wordpress.com/
Folksonomy is a system of collaborative classification enabling users to annotate and categorise content, which is referred to as collaborative tagging. Social Bookmarking sites such as Del.icio.us http://delicious.com/ are examples of folksonomies that enable users to share bookmarks to Websites, tag the sites and create collections of bookmarks. 
YouTube http://www.youtube.com/ is an example of a video sharing site that enables users to post videos on any range of topics. Sites such as YouTube allows people to  upload and share video clips across the Internet through websites, mobile devices, blogs, and email. Viewers can vote on the videos posted online and respond in text based blog entries and they can create video productions of their own on the same topic. YouTube also supports channels and provides a means for viewers to copy a snippet of code and embed videos so that they play within their own websites, blogs etc. 
Virtual worlds are based on three areas of technology: World Wide Web, Massively Multi-player Online Role-Playing Games, and avatar worlds (Ondrejka, 2007). They have no fixed rules, and provide spaces for social networking, teaching, gaming, virtual shopping, conferencing and marketing. Examples of popular virtual worlds are Second Life and Active Worlds.
O'Reilly (2005) describes Web 2.0 as a set of principles and practices that harness collective intelligence. These principles include (1) light weight programming models, (2) syndicated web services (for example RSS), (3) “remixing” and “hackability” of content and (4) device independence.
Obsanjo (2004) identifies five classes of social software:
Communication (IM, Email, SMS, etc.) 
Experience Sharing (Blogs, Photo albums, shared link libraries such as Del.icio.us)
Discovery of Old and New Contacts (Classmates.com, online personals such as Match.com, social networking sites such as Friendster, etc.) 
Relationship Management (Orkut, Friendster) 
Collaborative or Competitive Gaming (MMORPGs, online versions of traditional games such as Chess & Checkers, team-based or free-for-all First Person Shooters)
Web 2.0 is also enabling social activitists and citizen journalists to reach a global audience. Activists can distribute their information via text, photos and videos using a variety of channels including blogs, photosharing sites, YouTube and twitter. In this way late breaking news about social issues can be rapidly disseminated and support leveraged at very little cost. Citizen journalists can broadcast news long before the mainstream media and without the constraints.Examples of social activism sites include:
