Interactive Design

Definition
Interactive Design is a form of design that takes into consideration the end-user's want and need to interact with and change/modify a product/system/service with the product/system/service responding to and providing feedback to the user.

Products that come from this area of design are mostly electronically based and have had played a large part in the development of Web 2.0.

Examples
As interactive design has been used to create the websites that have shaped Web 2.0, the examples will be the same and include Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Flickr etc. A few others have been listed below:

Foursquare is an interactive website for mobile phones that allows users to share information to other users on sports, restaurants and other events in their area while also helping individuals meet up.

Supercook is an interactive website that allows the user (you) to list the ingredients you have in your fridge and the site will provide a variety of different recipes.
