- strangerzero, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Web 2.0 = Last year's hype.
- noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11The fact that we are still trying to define it makes it that much more of a stupid term.
- UltraMegaFilms, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13I can't wait to upgrade to Web 3.0! Bukkake!
- thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Why a whole article for : "It's nothing but a buzz-word"?
- radicaldementia, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10The other day I saw them putting in new internet tubes for web 3.0, they were huge!! I think you'll be able to download a motorcycle and perhaps even a small horse and not clog them.
- Scrappy1850, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7i thought web 2.0 was backwards russian jokes and ugly kittens watching me masturbate
- hiPpymIck, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9heres another (1473 Diggs,23days ago)...for anyone who missed it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE - ear1grey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"diff -rs www web2.0" tell me "Files www and web2.0 are identical".
- Skitzzo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I'm still not convinced anyone can nail down what Web 2.0 is but this is better than most explanations I've read.
- dmsean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3this web page is exactly what web 2.0 is not! way to go!
- lpcustom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Internet and the way to code it is improving, so they use a false."
@mandraque
If they used a true would it be better? WTF are you talking about!? - mikehill33, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3LOL.
- Matrixsta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5web 2.0 definition on a web 1.0 forum
- BooDaddy69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Did you see your name beside the little @ sign? I guess that makes you a ***** also... TAKE MY INTERNETS!
- CrossedBearings, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If anybody else thinks making the Web 2.5 / 3.0 / etc gag is funny any more they should be shot with dried pellets of there own sh!t. Let it go.
In fact the community aspect of "Web 2.0" is the most important thing. I was cynical at first and used to think it was an umbrella for buzz words, or the next generation of internet bubble waiting to burst; but I actually think the is something to it. It amuses me that people use Digg, which as a shining example of 'Web 2.0' (think community based site, flashy UI) to take flings at 'Web 2.0'. Seems to me its a bit like using a phone to tell others that, really, there's no such thing as a phone. - Skitzzo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3don't we sort of break up time periods by the trends or styles though?
I mean the 60's were bell bottom hippies, the 70's was disco, 80s were big hair and off the shoulder sweaters...
Web 2.0 might be a trend but it's a significant enough trend to define what it is. - esourcemag, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I think web 2.0 is just about trying to explain how people are relating to each other on the web, how advertising on the web is a billion dollar industry, and interactivity due to broadband, cell phones and blogs.
Not exactly what the web had been in the late 90's. - BooDaddy69, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3OMG!!! TAKE MY INTERENETS Time magazine!! Thank you for making me your person of the year!
- Digitalmafia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Exactly - its a BS marketing term - we continue to evolve the way we create on the web, but to title something web 2.0 and then spend so much time trying to define it - write books about it...sell it to your management...useless to those that actually work in the industry- good for justifying your job...

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html
The web has changed and the way we use it has changed also. All we are doing is arguing about what to call it. - UrsusMorologus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2right on, brother
- BooDaddy69, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Has W3C approved the Web 2.0? I would hate to clog up my internet tubes with web 2.0 code that hasnt been fully validated. Someone would need to call Router Rooter ™ to get them to come out and unclog my internets.
- meshman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"Technology. Here we talk about XML, APIs, new content management systems like blogs and wikis"
This is nothing new. We've had XML and API's for ages. Web 2.0 is a pile of garbage. It doesn't exist and never did. Web 2.0 isn't about social structures, it's about technology and it hasn't happened yet. There is nothing new in technology in Web 2.0. Digg is web 2.0? I see HTML, Javascript and XML. How is this different from any other website? It isn't. It's the same thing we've always had.
Web 2.0 is IPv6. It's a revolution in converged technologies that is platform independent. It's the next step in the evolution of the web and how it works. But it hasn't happened yet. This O'Reilly idiot needs to study up on how the Internet works. Sorry, but those of us who built it and build it every day are not going to drop to the feet of some self-important asswipe to take it upon himself to declare "Web 2.0". "Oh look at me everybody, jump on my bandwagon so I can make lots of money and be real important!1!one"
If I now declare Web 4.0, is everybody going to blow me instead now? Take it from people that know the technology you're using. Web 2.0 doesn't exist and when it does, it'll be adopted and agreed upon by standards organizations with proposals and proper review. Not because some self-important jackass declares it.
"Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the web, such that a call to action such as "Web 2.0" might make sense? We agreed that it did, and so the Web 2.0 Conference was born."
Oh how nice of you to do that for everyone. Don't consult with anybody, just declare this thing you've made up out of thin air "Web 2.0". Don't substantiate the new technologies involved because there are none. Google up the "Web 2.0 color palette". Gee, tri-hex color codes. Where have we seen those before and what spectacular new colors are there? There aren't because it's the same palette we've been using for years.
So go ahead, call apples oranges if you like. The fact remains that apples are apples no matter how much you insist they aren't. There is no Web 2.0. It's the same thing we've been using for years. - JackDanielz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It looks like we all agree that Web2.0 is all about the user. Check out Time Mag agreeing with us all this year here:
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1569514,00.html - jimbocook, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Personally, I think we need to get Web 1.0 down on the forum before we update.
- bigshroom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1boo and lp you can have my internets
- LittleDanzig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I think I know what Web 2.0 is, too. It's a catch phrase invented to describe a bunch of existing technologies, mixed into a big bowl of recursive IPO dreams and topped off with a heaping helping of pseudo-populist "it's about COMMUNITY" rhetoric that basically leverages the responsibility of creating content onto the users.
And there are lots of big long lists of links with people arguing about them.
Oh, and everything is Beta. Always.
Basically, Web 2.0 is a convenient, all-in-one solution for retrofitting your eCommerce website to become an updated version of the neighborhood BBS from 1992, except without PimpWars and with a ton of gradients and starburst graphics. - kichus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3yeah.. I agree with skitzzo...
some good points and a better way of explaining it.. - BitSlash, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@timdigg
yeah, because web 2.0 apps are released as never ending beta. =P - rmccarley, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Maybe. But I think it is still cool to understand it.
- Homunculiheaded, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4timdigg, are you being sarcastic?
- BooDaddy69, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2@lpcustom: Gigahype.net FTFW.net !!!!!!
- BooDaddy69, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Hey *****..... Look one line above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Skitzzo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2lol true enough - we're workin on it.
- mikehill33, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@ BooDaddy69:
are you talking to me sucktard? - superadmin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0meshman.....wtf are you on about??? IPV6 is Web2.0?? Since when? It just enables more nodes to be able to connect with the net and was needed because every ***** up with AOL wants to connect and check there crappy little AOL mailboxes so they can skitz out and be scared when they get an email sayin they have spyware......................................
As far as i knew with IPV6, is that its just for connection purposes...to completely change the way the net works, dont you think they would produce a new protocoll rather than TCP/IP which we all been using since the early days...some guy in japan or sumin has brought out a new protocoll that could give the internet as we know it a completely new life, due to the fact that its got some fancy encoding process that lets you achieve unthinkable speeds, though i think the government has had him to work for them :-( - BooDaddy69, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2@mandraque:
You are a total *****!!! - BooDaddy69, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1BBS+Pimpwars+LOTD=True Pwnage..... I guess you could call that Web Beta or Web 0.5
- JuliusScissor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0web 2.0 means we use XML for the purpose of making it active [HTTPREQUEST] (alive) not passive [REFRESH] (comatose) nor static [ZOMBO.COM] (dead).
- dallasjfreeman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm hoping it was a joke about the Web 2.5 signup
- joelamhp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0LOL
- Kareema, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0thank you thank you thank you hiPpymick for that digg !
- Retuow, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3"Web 2.5 is in beta now and will be released shortly".. priceless endline
- jspegele, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2How about some credit for the man who coined the term:
http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2005/09/what_is_web_20.html - lpcustom, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Yeah the pr0n in web3.0 is going to be so good...i'll be like TAKE MY INTERNETS!!!!!
- finfo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I'm no authority on the subject, but if someone asked me what web 1.0 and web 2.0 were I'd say:
Web 1.0 = Brick and mortar companies go online. Pull users to the site with the content the company adds and push products/ads onto users.
Web 2.0 = Dare I say "User-centric"?. Companies now create a virtual brick and mortar location for users to create their own content. Users pull themselves into the site in a self-fulfilling prophesy. Users hunger to add content.. see their own content.. add more content.. see others' content... Company continues to push ads on users.. err.. the ads are now "customized" to the user. Sweet! (sarcasm) - jonathono2000, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Web 2.0 can be defined with one word. Folksonomy. And while this concept is not new to the web, in its current iteration, it is in fact revolutionary to the way people access and exchange information on a fundamental level. In a sense, it is the future.
Based on the aforementioned it is then not hard to see why I on the cusp of an aging generation of what would could be considered the first "digital" generation am exposed to the dichotomy of perceptions of what is and isn't Web 2.0 as maintained by those younger (more technology dependent) and those older (less technology dependent) and in turn am able to make an accurate assessment of the situation.
And to you I say.
Isn't REVOLUTION just a buzz word. - mandraque, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1web 2.0 is imaginary. Its like better cars are cars 2.0, they are not, they are just improving. Internet and the way to code it is improving, so they use a false.
- TimDigg, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4"So this is Web 2.0 in a nutshell. Web 2.5 is in beta now and will be released shortly."
Was he being sarcastic? -
