Premise
- web 2.0 = different mindset, tools are (nearly) the same as Web 1.0
- What's the problem: style vs substance? Just a label for a trend.
- the reason there's a delineation between web 1.0 and web 2.0 is the dot-com bust. 2001 marked the end of the 1st wave, there was a dip in activity while people realigned their thinking, then the tide started rising again around 2004
- 1.0 (web pages) - 2.0 (web apps)
- Maturity of the tools: browsers + javascript + databases
- Maturity of the market: wikipedia, blogs, myspace - people now have the mindset/expectation to write online, not just read
- Does web 2.0 = Google?
