OK, seriously: I swear the next time I hear “Web 2.0” I’m gonna throw up. I’m so sick of hearing that. It’s not 2.0, people. Some people are making some incredible new web-based apps, no question about it. Unfortunately, they’re getting buried in their own hype. Enough with the “Web 2.0” already! It’s hype, it’s spin. It’s as bad a Fox “News.” (ok, ok, that was too probably far.)
I was relieved tonight to realize that I’m not the only person who feels this way. (And he puts it much more eloquently than I do, so go read it.)
Update: Wow, since posting this, I’ve discovered that I’m far from alone in feeling this way. Seems a whole lot of other people feel the same way. I’m a particular fan of Eightface’s commentary on the subject, (which, it was just pointed out to me, was posted back in August 2005) and his suggest alternate name: “Xtreme Web 2005 Mega Enterprise Edition!”
