what's not web 2.0
37 Signals posts "What isn't Web 2.0?" Secrecy and buzzwords among other things.
you could have skipped the filppant list and just said that web 2.0 is a stake in the ground of developing the semantic web.
...which got some rude "buzzword-bingo" retorts. But I like this idea, so here's part of my response:
It's easy to forget that so-called buzzwords ("collaborative", "transparent") have a history - they *mean* something, even if that meaning tends to be obscured over time by thoughtless use. ...the absence of VC funding, secrets, hiring binges and economic incentives were preconditions responsible for the truly transparent & collaborative development surge that got us where we are now.
