definition is in the title and a few people have linked to it. While technically not inaccurate, it's not very complete either. I can't help wondering if partial definitions like this are a big part of the problem people are having understanding the concepts.
Jeff Clavier Tries His Hand At Web 2.0 Definition - And does a credible job. He puts openness of data and services as job #1, then rich application experences, and then low cost of delivery using lightweight programming models and techniques. A bit of a light definition in my personal opinion but highly accessible.
I Give Web 2.0 Explanation A Try - Though admittedly my description might seem a bit overwrought, I still stand by it. I havent' seen anything this compelling since the original Web and some of the things we're seeing, like the Web 2.0 information ecosystem, will change the world forever.
Paul Graham Weighs In On Web 2.0 - Here is one of the most recent explanations and one of the clearest headed. While I certainly don't agree with everything he says, it's an excellent antidote to some of the most extreme Web 2.0 hype, while not throwing out the baby with the bath water either. A must read.
And finally, I'm going to add one last Web 2.0 visualization to the mix. I find so many people derive much more meaning out of visuals instead of text and perhaps a slightly more up-to-date graphic will help. For other truly great Web 2.0 visualizations, I refer you to the blogoposium mentioned above.
Figure 1: A reason why Web 2.0, a complex, subtle, yet practical topic, needs so much explanation.
I'll continue to blog about Web 2.0 for the rest of the year but this will be the end of my recap posts. And please, contribute more visualizations, articles, and commentary below, this is what Web 2.0 is all about...
