nope.

I understand it has something to do with flickr and myspace, but it can't all be to do with pretending to have 'friends' who you never really talk to, can it?

When I first heard about this week's compo ...
... I literally thought there was something called Web 2.0 coming out which would be written in a different programming language and would need a new browser, if not an entirely new broadband provider and probably a new PC.

Then I learned it was actually about making podcasts and perfecting your goth shot for MySpace. (High contrast, high angle, to disguise your bad skin and weight problem.)

Web 2.0? More like ... umm ... Web 1.5! Yeah!

it`s a pile of buzzwords brought together under one heading to make people think there`ll be a big-bag super duper new web - will probably be exploited by marketing departments to get people to buy the new version of Windows and a spangly new computer
like people who are saying "woo this XML is a great new thing" when some of us have been hacking away at it since the late 1990s

I see why XML is good and all that.
But is there any need for Office 2007 files to be saved in an XML format?

The world, she is gone mad.
( cr3stmas is highly scalable, Sat 15 Apr 2006, 12:44, archived)

totally agree
it`s only being done because the open source competition have been doing it for yonks and Microsoft wants a slice of the action -- they tried to patent the use of XML to represent documents

- so no prior art at all for that one....

You have arrived at the truth of the matter.
Normal people have no fucking idea what this is about.

There's nothing to explain.

I'm no expert, but I believe Richard Feynman's adage, 'if you can't explain it, you don't
understand it'. I've read Tim O'Reilly's 'landmark' paper oreillynet.com/lpt/a/6228
and he doesn't explain jack shit.

I could easily sum up the Special Theory of Relativity for children
in half the space he took not to explain what Web 2.0 is.
