This environment includes social and business networks, and it is influencing what people do on the Web and intranets, individually and in groups. Web 2.0 is the popular term for advanced Internet technology and applications including blogs, wikis, RSS, podcasting, and social networks. One of the most significant differences between Web 2.0 and the traditional Web is that content is user generated, and there is greater collaboration among internet users. Internet users have showed some differences according to their demographic and psychographic characteristics.

This paper contributes to web 2.0 literature by providing qualitative research web 2.0 usage behavior and perceptions of Generations X, Y and baby boomers in Turkey.
