In alluding to the version-numbers that commonly designate software upgrades, the phrase "Web 2.0" may hint at an improved form of the World Wide Web. Advocates of the concept suggest that technologies such as weblogs, social bookmarking, wikis, podcasts, RSS feeds (and other forms of many-to-many publishing), social software, Web APIs, Web standards and online Web services imply a significant change in web usage. As used by its supporters, the phrase "Web 2.0" can also refer to one or more of the following:\n\n * the transition of web sites from isolated information silos to sources of content and functionality, thus becoming computing platforms serving web applications to end-users;\n * a social phenomenon embracing an approach to generating and distributing Web content itself, characterized by open communication, decentralization of authority, freedom to share and re-use, and "the market as a conversation";\n * enhanced organization and categorization of content, emphasizing deep linking;\n * a rise in the economic value of the Web, possibly surpassing the impact of the dot-com boom of the late 1990s.

Explanation : Medium Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX or MDI-X), a version of the Medium Dependent Interface (MDI), enables connections between like devices (e.g., two hubs) by crossing the transmit-receive circuits. The straight-through cable connecting an MDI port on one hub or switch is inserted into an MDIX port on the other hub or switch. Both MDI-to-MDI and MDIX-to-MDIX connections use crossover cables. For example, an Ethernet port connection that allows networked end stations (i.e., PCs or workstations) to connect to each other using a null-modem, or crossover cable is an MDIX.
