Two characteristics of Web 2.0 are collaboration between users and also deep linking. Collaboration between users makes it easier to find information and non info silo also makes it easier to find sources while deep linking makes it easier to organize info and content.
Folksonomies are often called "tags". They are also used generated material that are categorized or orginaized into a group to make searches easier. Tags can be used for sites like facebook or flicker so that everything that you tag a picture with can be searched by searching that specific keyword.
Wikipedia is considered to be web 2.0 because of the definition. The definition states that sites including wikis are considered second generation.
A forum that I visit often "www.hobbyfanatics.com" is considered web 2.0 because it has collaboration between users. An example of this is sharing tips, pictures, and videos.

Great. Wikipedia is in a way a "poster child" of the web 2.0 phenomenon--user generated, edited, and designed.
