Sun, 02 Apr 2006 22:54:52 +0000 http://timpeter.dreamhosters.com/blog/?p=25#comment-30 [...] Newsweek has decided to put Web 2.0 on its cover this week. Is it just me, or does the irrational exuberance of a few years back seem like it’s just around the corner again? I’m as keen to see a return to fun and excitement on the Web as anyone. I just worry that we’re about to see a whole bunch of folks repeat the mistakes of the past. At least this time, it seems that a number of folks are thinking through how to make money on the deal, instead of this “selling a dollar for 90 cents and make it up on volume” silliness we all dealt with the first time through. Tim Leberecht (who I’ve just started reading, thanks to Technorati), has a viewpoint on this, too, recapping the recent thoughts here about whether Web 2.0 can live up to its hype. Check it out. It’s worth the read. [...] […] Newsweek has decided to put Web 2.0 on its cover this week.

We're totally on the same page about this one with regard to what the meaning of this whole thing is. I also continue to think there will be a killer app at some point. Don't know what it is (obviously); I just feel confident that it's coming. Keep up the great stuff. Agreed on all counts, Anne, as usual.

I think you are a good judge of thinkers ;-) It's clear to me something new is going on with Web 2.0, and people who say it's just hype can't see it for some reason. I agree, it's not so much the technology but the shift in how consumers meet the world; it's a social shift. I can't think of anything I'd nominate for Web 2.0 killer app, but maybe that's because it's not primarily about technology. The various services that support us are necessary for the Web 2.0 revolution but they're not the revolution itself. The revolution is us! Power to and from the people!
