Thank you, purple. It's nice to know I'm not decades behind everyone else in learning about this!
Yeah, Cheerios have come a long way from the plastic Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles figure in the box you'd wrestle your siblings for. Wait, that might just have been me LOL. I was just kidding about the Cheerios box. If only they were that educational!
I don't even know where I first came across the Web 2.0 term actually, truth be told but I did see this last night (now that you all have whetted my appetite to learn more about it). There's an interesting extensive article at OReilly dated Sept 2005 where they compared what was reckoned then to be their Web 2.0 conference's "sense" of what is and isn't Web 2.0 and the shape of things to come.
Just to throw this out as a general question, I'm wondering how much of that brainstorming session's perception is still valid today. This is a snippet of it -
Quote:
Web 1.0 --------- Web 2.0
DoubleClick --> Google AdSense
Ofoto --> Flickr
Akamai --> BitTorrent
mp3.com --> Napster
Britannica Online --> Wikipedia
personal websites --> blogging
evite --> upcoming.org and EVDB
domain name speculation --> search engine optimization
page views --> cost per click
screen scraping --> web services
publishing --> participation
content management systems --> wikis
directories (taxonomy) --> tagging ("folksonomy")
stickiness --> syndication

This is the link to it in full :
OReilly on What is Web 2.0
So my question is to anyone that'd care to respond: would you say that list and /or article's a fair assessment in very broad terms or is it perhaps too restrictive or expansive? Anything there that makes you shudder at how wrong it is compared to where the Web 2.0 concept is nowadays?
Enquiring minds want to know. If I'm going to learn, I want to do it right. Anyway, I have an ulterior motive. I may impress my son yet...
