The Death Of "Web 2.0″ (techcrunch.com)

"Web 2.0" was coined by a publisher to sell more books and conference tickets.


And used by others to build trust for web startups among non-techie investors.


Yes, well, maybe death. More like aged and senile: what's hot yesterday is tepid today. What's news today is taken for granted tomorrow.

But, on the bright side: it is no long sufficient justification for your startup "be web 2.0"... It actually has to meet a demonstrable (or creatable) need. Now THERE's a innovative idea.


"Creatable" seems to be where the wiggle room lies.


why'd you link to the comments field?
