There seems to be a fair bit of buzz around the blogosphere in this regard today, too. The question that Marnie Webb at Netsquared asked Robert Scoble is a pretty good place to start: “is Web 2.0 merely hype?” Marshall Kirkpatrick asks a similar thing on his blog, too.

Anne is one of the best. With regard to the rest, I stand by my original point. Clearly, we're all into the future of the web and really starting to explore the concept of a more semantic web. However, it doesn't change the question: where is the killer app? The closest things I've seen are MySpace and Netopia, which seem to draw my kids in deeper and deeper every day and don't even use most Web 2.0 features. They do emphasize the concept of social software. Still, I don't see most folks running out and getting online in once fell swoop solely to get a MySpace account. Mobile phones do a somewhat better job with texting, but you can't tell me ringback tones represent the future of the online experience. Thanks, James. I think. Anne is one of the best.
