We see WordPress as a 2.0 Application through its highly interactive nature. Typical of such, it is open sourced, “created by and for the community”. The software’s definitive characteristic of modularity is also typical of a web 2.0 site as users and producers are encouraged to find sources on the world wide web and incorporate them. The subsequent uploading of such content stimulates discussions that otherwise wouldn’t occur in a style typical of social networking. WordPress has also incorporated automation with the use of tags and links that serve to connect the user to blogs and sites of similar content. When all of this is coupled with the universal accessibility of WordPress on mulitiple platforms, one can determine that this definetly is an example of a Web 2.0 Application.
