The future is WEB 2.0 dont miss out!

How many of you are familiar with this term? It seems that lot of people are not up on the new developments.

This is where webmasters who are looking for new areas to persue should be concentrating on if you are not already. Guraranteed this is the future and now is the time to get in on the ground floor so to speak. I know I am. Any others with comments about this?

The recently released Google Web Toolkit has the power to play a large role in Web 2.0 applications. For some thoughts about what GWT is, might be, and where it fits in check http://www.drivenbycuriosity.com/mywp/?p=29#more-29

 

There are 100 other frameworks around. Some popular ones are prototype, script.aculo.us, yahoo, etc.

 

web2.0 is supposed to be crazy fast, but as of right now, dont only certain agencies and educational facilities have access?

 

Web 2.0 is just a venture capitalists/investors/journalists term they invented. From a programmer point of view it is AJAX and the rest consider it the social website where most content is user generated.

 

You're SO outdated, we're onto web3.0 now... Get with it man!

I hear the web3.1 beta patch came out last night. downloading now

 

haha, that was a great article. Of course, I'd have just told the ass to STFU!! I'm so politically incorrect.

 

Alot of web 2.0 sites are annoying. Very narrow text, lots of useless tag links, too many ads, ect

 

Call it web.69 for all i care!!! As long as the internet opens new areas to make f'ing $! People will always say that the latest thing is based on old web tech. Whatver it is called something must be done to get websmasters and users a new experience in making $ on line.

 

I've had similar thoughts. Interesting, though -- been doing some research lately on Web 2.0 efforts and am finding a lot of parallels with the original tech bubble... a lot of things out there now are just as stupid as the stuff on the internet 10 years ago. The only difference is that the only people who are really losing are the VC's; since overhead is so cheap these days the only real cost of funding a startup is man-hours.

Most of what's hot right now is really just a combination of right place right time or leveraging of celebrity status. And a lot of it's more oriented toward generating future value (gaining a critical mass of potential advertising targets) than really breaking ground with a new kind of business model.

Anyway, those are the ideas I've been chewing on the past couple days...
