Blogger
In most ways self publishing predates the first use of the term Web2.0, but the phenomena are intertwined. Self publishing and blogging were the first examples of interactivity with the web for end users and drove the development of Web2.o. But really, even before then, services like Tripod and Geocities dazzled users by giving them free websites. The novelty of being able to own your own personal web space was incredible. Now it's commonplace.My first experience with web design came in middle school with Tripod. Blogging, enabled and made simple by Xanga, caught my attention in ninth grade, and creating content instead of layouts and HTML becamse important. Xanga has become very popular and very widely used. It provides an opportunity for every teenager to write and produce their won published works.
It was only after this, after people learned to interact with the web, that Web2.0 and the wave of websites driven by user generated content became possible.
Thus, Blogger.
