And no, I don't "hate" Web 2.0 ...
A recent article leads with the rather interesting title "Sun CTO Of Software Bob Brewin Hates 'Web 2.0'" ... reading on, it becomes apparent (I hope) that it's not Web 2.0 the concept I "hate", but the term itself. I've paraphrased Hal Stern before on this topic, which is that "any number after the term 'Web' is redundant"... and in discussion with a number of engineers, they also typically pooh pooh the term "Web 2.0" as more of a marketing concept (but the technologies and potential for what's evolving in the this evolving web is oh-so-cool and represents the current and future of the web).
The Web is an evolving thing. We've gone from largely static systems to dynamic ones which both allow for user generated content and input, but can change as a result. Is that the end state ? Absolutely not. Thus the term I use when describing the web is the "evolving web", which I think is more appropriate. Posted by brewin Feb 09 2007, 01:45:56 PM PST Permalink
