  • About: 
    • according to The Free Dictionary, "Web 2.0 refers to a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services — such as social-networking sites, wikis and folksonomies — which aim to facilitate collaboration and sharing between users"
    • according to Wikipedia , 'The term "Web 2.0" describes the changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aim to enhance creativity, communications, secure information sharing, collaboration and functionality of the web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-culture communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, video sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies. The term first became notable after the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004'
    • according to me, 'The term “Web 2.0″ does not really identify anything specific, so it doesn’t pull a lot of weight. Wikipedia’s definition of Web 2.0 starts with “changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology”. Notice “changing trends”, and read that as “a moving target”. So, using “Web 2.0″ can begin to focus the reader, but more specifics need to be used to uniquely identify a particular topic.'

  • My observations: At the very core, Web 2.0 has a trait of serendipity. The trick is to manage this serendipity, either mentally and/or physically. Personally, I need to touch and feel things (kinetic learner), so I manage it physically with My_System».

* an item in My Annotated Tag Cloud (=A-List»): High-level topics / tags, that are important to me, that are linked to individual documents, on that subject. Sort of like having a personal Wikipedia - a byproduct of My_System.

** Per Wikipedia, SaaS has been around since 2000/2001
