You dont develop a web 2.0 company. A company develops a web 2.0 product.

and there are a few. Spotback, Yedda , Metacafe.

Its a too big of a question. What defines web 2.0? a design? social skills? you cannot truly answer that question. 

Web Two Point OohhhYeahhh .

Hi Alon, thanks for the answer. I'm looking for Israeli Web 2.0 companies in the vaguest of terms - where the users provide the content and collaborate. I'm doing a series of posts about Israeli web 2.0 companies on a blog where I contribute. I'm also working on a piece for Israel21c.org about web 2.0 companies and figured that it would be interesting to get information about the topic via an Israeli company, hence the post here. 

I understand on a "philosophical level" that the term Web 2.0 is not well defined but the more companies that launch products, the more similarities we see in what drives the product. Thanks again. 

I know a little about a lot of things....

ok , then i guess spotback , i4giveu.com , bugile.com , metacafe.com , yedda.com , go2web20.net , gizmoz.com , ...emm... letme know if they are any good.

Web Two Point OohhhYeahhh .

If you go for a borader definition (User involved/User content/Communittee applications) the number is closer to 30 (shopping.com qualifies as well...)

Check this blog for some examples: http://www.israelwebtour.com/blog/

(BeInSync , Fixya , FoxytunesILCU, inter8ing, KasambaMyHeritage, RadarSyncSkylowSpearCastTrusted OpinionViewScore)

Go2web20.net is not a technology company, but it ranks others and can help as a reference guide

Some names have been mentioned by other replyers here, other names you can look into are Gigya, InterBine, MuseStorm, Olivelink, CoMagz, g10L and Mobixell

Israel is a funny place: a third world country in many aspects, and on the other hand, a HighTech super power ...

some  Israeli web 2.0 companies, not mentioned in previous answers, are:   

matchactivity.com, viewscore.com, esnips.com, supportspace.com, fixya.com, inter8ing.com, velingo.com, spotback.com, velingo.com, spearcast.com, ilcu.com, myheritage.com, rawsugar.com, kasamba.com, beinsync.com, alltogather.com, beinsync.com

The pen is mightier than the sword

Sportingo is also a good example of Israeli Web 2.0 startup that user generated the content.
