Office 2.0 = online office suites

The term Office 2.0 is used to refer to online office suites.
It is also the focus of the annual Office 2.0 Conference.
It is a marketing neologism representing the concepts of office productivity applications as published applications rather than stand-alone programs, leveraging the Web 2.0 concept to conjure imagery of collaborative, community based and centralised effort rather than the more traditional application running on a platform locally.
