One person’s opinion after dabbling with Blogs, Wikis, RSS, Twitter, flickr, Facebook, Mashups, tagging and more…
It’s a mad, mad, mad Web 2.0 world
Hidden treasure or just more pressure?
Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform,and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. . . .

Is it hype?

Tim Berners-Lee: Inventor of the net
Interviewer: "You know, with Web 2.0, a common explanation out there is Web 1.0 was about connecting computers and making information available; and Web 2 is about connecting people and facilitating new kinds of collaboration. Is that how you see Web 2.0?"BERNERS-LEE: "Totally not. Web 1.0 was all about connecting people. It was an interactive space, and I think Web 2.0 is of course a piece of jargon, nobody even knows what it means. If Web 2.0 for you is blogs and wikis, then thatis people to people. But that was what the Webwas supposed to be all along."
