web 2.0 cannot die…….
it had to exist for it to die…
its just an extension of web 1.0 (whatever that is) and how we interact with it….
it means different things to different people and really has nothing to do with technology but more to do with user generated content and individual interaction…

I cringe when I hear the phrase “60’s music”, but “Web 2.0″, while yet to be pinned to a musical genre, is a reference term to describe a host of contemporary web technologies and styles.. and I would hesitate to inform clients that a “Web 2.0″ look for their website is spin-tingling or false LMHO… each to their own tho, ay =)

When I hear the phase “web 2.0″ it sends shivers down my spine – it feels so false these days.

Having been involved in Marketing for 20 years Web 2.0 is just something else that sales people can ’sell’ just like Coke Zero is the new diet Coke… and the 15 types of milk in your supermarket are all just variations of the basic old milk… if the Marketers had got hold of the web we would have 15 versions of that too… or maybe we have, the average Joe still buys Coke, full cream milk and browses the internet with Internet Explorer!

Web 2.0 is alive and kicking!Web 2.0 is an endearing term to describe contemporary internet technologies + trendy website aesthetics.Web 2.0 is the subtle reflection in that button, the ajax in that app, the swirl in that logo, the whitespace in that webpage.Web 2.0, would we return to the 90’s, Web 1.0, did it even have a phrase? No, so perhaps the term is dead to some, but what it represents, has yet to be succeeded.Web 2.0, when it started, and when it ends, is not the say of mortals.Web 2.0 happened, it proliferates… live with it.

I do admit with the author that there is nothing as WEB 2.0. I am of the same opinion as many others, it never existed to die. It is a marketing gimmick. We must try and avoid coining to many jargons so that people may not frighten and run away from our technologies.

I think of Web 2.0 as a stage in the evolution of the WWW.

Web 2.0 began with the blink tag, don’t let anyone tell you different.

Actually, I’ve always seen it as some sort of movement towards interactive sites with forums and user-created enhancing content instead of the read-only digital brochures that websites used to be.

Other than that, it’s just a marketing term, therefore I hold it in the lowest of regard.
