Levels of web 2.0

• Level 0 applications are those that could just as
  easily function offline
• Level 1 apps could and do exist offline, but they
  gain a notable benefit by living on the Web.
• Level 2 apps still could and do exist offline,
  but gain so much from being online and
  collaborative that you can't quite imagine using
  them any other way.
• Level 3 applications, the "highest" level, could
  only exist on the Net and can only thrive with
  great amounts of user participation.
