I never thought it was a good idea to name the recently hyped
AJAX web development technique 'Web 2.0'. In my opinion it is useful for some very few toy applications like maybe
flickr or
maps.google.com and helps improving web services, but I don't think that AJAX is that revolutionary to claim that this will be the foundation of a new web area. Did you ever really think of editing letters or pictures via a website? Or did you ever try out
live.com? It's horrible, a user interface nightmare. Ok, maybe the technique still has to evolve a bit and browsers are not prepared for it yet.
O'Reilly recently trademarked (servicemarked? whatever) the name 'Web 2.0' for use in their conference names and is sueing people using it. Maybe at least the name Web 2.0 will disappear now slowly and people will use a more adeqate name for it. Ok, I doubt it, but at least I may be allowed to hope. :)
