web 2.0 and me

I know this web 2.0 thing has been a huge buzz word in the internet, and just today i was think if i am really using web 2.0 technologies to develop websites?

If web 2.0 is about having an interactive website, i have developed it, if its about about having rich media websites, i have designed that too… Still then i feel if i am developing in the right way?

Wikipedia defines web 2.0 as:

 Web 2.0 is a term describing the trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies. The term became notable after the first O’Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web.

Tim O’Reilly the founder of O’Reilly Media says:

Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.

Some of the websites i developed which i think is web 2.0:
