    I think you might have the wrong end of the stick. Web 2.0 is not an actual product, its a look and "feel" of how a company interacts on the internet. It is about how they engage their users/customers.

    Hmmmm. The idea behind Web 2.0 I believe is that the users provide the content as opposed to the site owners eg Boards.ie or wikipedia.com. How you would use it to engage consumers? It depends on the content but if you were selling food online then you might add a recipe forum. Is that the kind of thing you are looking for?

    Web2.0 is a buzzword .. nothing more, you can't use "It"

    However If by utilizing web 2.0 technologies ... you mean using social network media as a means to grab customers focus, theres tons of companies using it, just look at Facebook (prime web 2.0 example)... Squidoo, Digg etc .. are other ways of leveraging the customers, unless you want to set up your own social community somehow ?

    Just look up companies Facebook pages, most have one .. check out the ad's on the videos in the likes of ustream or justin.tv ... they are other prime examples of leveraging the platform of web2.0 into a business model.

    You still sound like you have a conceptual problem with what web 2.0 is.
    I take it you are a university undergraduate and you have been handed a project regarding web 2.0?
