Currently there is a growing trend of replicating the relationships and experiences of a physical world to that of an online virtual community. The values within communities is alwasy changing. From that of tangible to intangible assests. Accessibility to information is valuable and users that are able to interpret/evaluate that information will generate knowledge and wisdom to succeed in a changing economic and intangible environment.
Web 2.0 is introducing new intangible methods, structures or platforms in which to communicate with others in an online environment. The internet provides users an abundance of information at their finger tips. Web 2.0 communication is enablining users to not simply read this information but evaluate it and reproduce it quickly and effectively. One way communication is seemingly a principle of the past. Now, audiences respond to interactivity and a feeling of 'making a difference.' Now with Web 2.0 this is made possible.

As you state “there is growing trend of replicating the relationships and experiences of a physical world to that of an online virtual community.” However, there is also a trend for the participants of web 2.0 applications, such as Facebook and Wikipedia, to explore social behaviour that for a specific reason they could not engage in traditional social contexts. For example, a social software application such as Facebook can provide vital social interactions for a participant who does not engage in off line socializing due to shyness, etc. This highlights one of the many positive functions and attributes of social software that is over shadowed by media coverage of negative internet related issues such as cyerbullying, an argued extension of offline behaviour.
