    I can't stand web 2.0. If it is an advance of the web I haven't seen it. Basically pretty colors, blood, sports, and shopping for the masses. I miss the days when the average person wasn't polluting the information superhighway. All one has to do is go look at comments at youtube or anything remotely political to see that most people are unworthy of access. Berners-Lee has a good point. It is something that business majors throw out to show how intelligent and up to date they are like they did with paradigm in the 90's. Do we really want the incompetents who have ruined the world economy to have anything to do with our precious internet? Or I could just be a curmudgeon spouting pessimism...

    From the page: "In studying and/or promoting web-technology, the phrase Web 2.0 can refer to a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services â€" such as social-networking sites, wikis, and folksonomies â€" which aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing between users. The term gained currency following the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use webs."

    Web 2.0What people tend to call the "Web 2.0" effect, seems to be permeating the World Wide Web, and is making the internet full of beautiful possibilities:powerful mashups, social (feedback) platforms, collaborative wikis, open web services/APIs, addictive interactive GUI, plug-and-play reusable content, digital convergence, better usability, et al.While the concept of Web 2.0 initially started as a buzzword (and still has its share of critics), I feel this iteration in the wonderful phenomenon called the Internet, is is becoming increasingly tangible and useful. The Internet is finally seeing a resurgence towards the very kind of future first envisioned by its pioneers :seamless, simple, user-friendly and effective.

    I think that this is an example of Wikipedia at its best: the summary of this rather inchoate concept is stimulating. Glad to see the sceptics are also in the links at the end!

    I guess that a strict policy of versioning for the Web is not required and to call the XHTMLHttpRequest object AJAX is according to my opinion also no special achievement. I think for Web 2.0 it would be necessary that Web masters adhere strictly to XHTML-, CSS- and WAI-standards. Spam and open Proxies would have to be fought and the digital signature would have to be consistently used.....and if with the SEO-craziness is finally finished, because web pages should be optimized for the visitors (humans) and not for search engines. But if a SEO company promises many visitors and they themselves have a Google PageRank 3 the discussion is unnecessary anyway whether SEO can make any sense or no.

    "Web 2.0" "Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O'Reilly Media in 2004,[1] refers to a perceived or proposed second generation of Web-based services -- such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies -- that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users. O'Reilly Media, in collaboration with MediaLive International, used the phrase as a title for a series of conferences, and since 2004 some developers and marketers have adopted the catch-phrase. Its exact meaning remains open to debate, and some technology experts, notably Tim Berners-Lee[2], have questioned the meaning of the term." ***** Still just a buzz word in search of a definition.

    "The term "Web 2.0" refers to what some people see as a second phase of development of the World Wide Web, including its architecture and its applications. As used by its proponents, the phrase allegedly refers to one or more of the following: a transition of websites from isolated information silos to sources of content and functionality, thus becoming a computing platform serving web applications to end users a social phenomenon referring to an approach to creating and distributing Web content itself, characterised by open communication, decentralization of authority, freedom to share and re-use, and "the market as a conversation" a more organized and categorized content, with a far more developed deeplinking web architecture. a shift in economic value of the web, up past a trillion dollars surpassing that of the dot com boom of the late 1990s. However, a consensus upon its exact meaning has not yet been reached. Many recently developed concepts and technologies are seen as contributing to Web 2.0, including weblogs, linklogs, podcasts, RSS feeds and other forms of many to many publishing; social software, web APIs, web standards, online web services, Ajax, and others. Web 2.0 allegedly differs from early web development (retroactively labeled Web 1.0) as it is a move away from static websites, email, using search engines and surfing from one website to the next. Others are more skeptical that such basic concepts can be superseded in any real way by those listed above." (excerpted)
