In the software are there are programs such as Podcast, with both audio and video, streaming video for the users use on Wed sites like YouTube and iTunes do a very good job of using Web 2.0 for applications. There are also many applications others a user can choose from and applications the user can use to create their own Wed site for others to use with a friendly interface.
