Web 2.0 is a difficult term to define, but clearly it brings people together in a more dynamic, interactive space. This new generation of internet services and devices - often referred to as social software - can be leveraged to enrich our web experience, as information is continually requested, consumed, and reinterpreted. Web 2.0 examples in medicine are given with useful links to test them.

Seeking a way to mark the launch of the new BMJ, the editors hit on the idea of looking back at the most important medical milestones since the journal was first published in 1840. They asked readers to nominate milestones and then a panel of editors and advisers narrowed the field down from more than 70 to 15. They invited champions to write about each one; their contributions make up the commemorative supplement published on 20 January.
