The term Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user- centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user- generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies. The term is closely associated with Tim O'Reilly because of the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in late 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specification, but rather to cumulative changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web. Whether Web 2.0 is qualitatively different from prior web technologies has been challenged by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, who called the term a "piece of jargon", precisely because he intended the Web in his vision as "a collaborative medium, a place where we [could] all meet and read and write". He called it the "Read/Write Web". For more info, visit

The new released software iPhone Contacts Transfer from ImTOO alleviates the management, backup and restore from iPhone contact information. Usually, if the message “no more memory cell” is displayed on the mobile phone you are more than surprised. But just one gaze in the address book is enough to be sure that you actually lost track about the entries. Within the contacts, there are entries from far in the past, ones that are out- dated and ones that are repeated. Today’s social relationships are on the one hand countless but on the other shallow which makes the handling of these relations more difficult. Most of the time, contact information are simply and fragmentary saved, collected and maintained. However, the recently released software iPhone Contacts Transfer from the worldwide provider of software ImTOO is supposed to ease this muddle of information. Through CSV and vCard the iPhone synchronizes with the local computer and the online address books, such as Google, Yahoo, Outlook, Windows etc., in order to import and export the contact files. These contact files are directly transferred to the iPhone and send to the local computer as a backup file, which guaranties the ultimate safety and the restore in case of an accidental deletion. Furthermore to the synchronization between the iPhone, local computer and online address books and the providing of back up files, the iPhone Contacts Transfer manages and edits contacts files. This Software is available as a Mac and a Windows version and it can be chosen in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.

Portable Document Format (PDF) is an open standard for document exchange. This file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 is used for representing documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.[2] Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it. In 1991 Adobe Systems co-founder John Warnock outlined a system called "Camelot"[3] that evolved into the Portable Document Format (PDF). While the PDF specification was available for free since at least 2001[4], PDF was originally a proprietary format controlled by Adobe, and was officially released as an open standard on July 1, 2008, and published by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 32000- 1:2008.[1][5] The ISO 32000-1 allows use of some specifications, which are not standardized (e.g. Adobe XML Forms Architecture[6][7]). ISO 32000-1 does not specify methods for validating the conformance of PDF files or readers.[1] In 2008, Adobe published a Public Patent License to ISO 32000-1 granting a royalty-free rights for all patents owned by Adobe that are necessary to make, use, sell and distribute PDF compliant implementations.
