The user has complete control over the content watched and delivered. Once again the website creator has created a basis for the user to build upon.
Facebook is a social networking site that enables people to keep i contact no matter the location, as long as a mobile phone or computer is in arms reach. Users can update their current status (What they are doing at the exact time), blog about their day, send each other messages and upload photos. It seems almost as if there are limitless possibilities for a facebook user, and it is a great example of Web 2.0. The site creator has created a platform for users to interact, redefining the website in a way that is compleltely up to them.
Flickr

This has created a community in itself, where any interent user can get involved and become part of this Web 2.0 photo sharing greatness!

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that is updated, maintained and monitored by the internet population. Anyone can edit any article, and it will be published as long as the majority agree with what you are saying. It is revolutionary as new topics are added daily, and existing topics are reassessed and edited on a consistent basis. A perfect example of Web 2.0.
