We have entered the new era of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), as more application on Web 2.0 i see, more i belief it's going to be style and user power that will dominate the Internet in future. I belief the endorsement of Web 2.0 is going to happen via RIAs.
The core value of RIAs is to develop Web Applications with users pleasant experience and interactive visualization. In comparision to old client-server technology which demanded high cost and lacked flexibility RIAs lowers the total cost significantly. RIAs also offer scalability, reliability, performance, and security on par with what they are used to with old client-server technology.
Some of the Important Characteristics of Web 2.0 which will play a central role in its wide spread adoption are

Some of the Important Characteristics of Web 2.0 which will play a central role in its wide spread adoption are
1. Ajax
One ingredient of Web 2.0 is certainly Ajax, basically what "Ajax" means is that web-based applications can now be made to work much more like desktop ones.
An Ajax application eliminates the start-stop-start-stop nature of interaction on the Web by introducing an intermediary — an Ajax engine — between the user and the server. It seems like adding a layer to the application would make it less responsive, but the opposite is true.
2. Democracy
The second big element of Web 2.0 is democracy. Wikipedia may be the most famous examples of democracy.
Generally when ever we try searching on a topic we end up looking for the relevant material on more than single site because it happens that the owner of single static blog or a website is not able to cover the topic from all perspectives. With the coming up of Wikipedia this concept of shared workspace on web was first introduced, where any user could add on his or her valuable knowledge on a given topic. This concept has been a great success, now when ever we are looking for info on any topic our first destination happens to be Wikipedia.
Let us look at some of the existing applications based on Web 2.0
Are you a real dance maniac then here's a You Tube like site DanceJam . It is all about dance, an effort to create an online community around amateur dancers. At the site, people can upload their dance videos and share them, watch videos that others have uploaded, learn dance moves, and even take part in "dance battles". This seems to be based on the Democracy characteristic of Web 2.0.

Although it will take some time for wide spread adoption of the web 2.0 but eventually it will happen.
