Ever wonder who’s on top when it comes to Web 2.0 services? Hitwise Intelligence has some answers.
The research company has released a list of the top 20 Web 2.0 sites based on U.S. visits in July. It used Wikipedia’s definition of a service designed “to enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users.”
