The results show that, although all respondents do not use the aforementioned technologies, they have a relatively positive opinion on the application of Web 2.0 technologies in business. According to their opinion, Web 2.0 technologies make the most important contribution to sharing of data and information in company and have a significant impact on the quality of communication, both internal and external.
