We think Web 2.0 is still alive but we don’t know what it is

Rex Hammock just blogged about the death of Web 2.0. Well, ok, but nobody knows what the heck it is anyhow, (sorry for my strong language). Defining Web 2.0 is a lot like figuring out a Nielsen family.

That’s part of Rex’s point too; this line summed up Web 2.0 perfectly:

“Web 2.0, which meant anything, so therefore meant — and still means — nothing.”

To this day I’m trying to define Web 2.0.  I twittered the question but didn’t get much of a response. I blogged about it and had no comments.  After I posted a video on Youtube and uploaded a podcast, I still had questions. I checked out a local meetup but nobody could give me a solid definition. I read Wikipedia on the subject but it only had guidelines for identifying characteristics. I give up. I’m headed over to Slashdot.

If you have a few minutes, pop over to Rex’s blog and have a read.

Also, somebody tweet me when they know the answer or when an upgrade is released.

Thanks,

David

PS – sorry, I just felt like blogging even though I didn’t have much to say.  :/
