Quickie: “2.0″ Really Has Meaning?
I have started to loathe the “2.0″ meme. When I started researching the Internet and its cultural and commercial impact in 1994 people were saying all the same things about peer production, changes to social relationships, and all of the (non-technical) tenets espoused as “2.0″. From my perspective, it’s just that it took the shake out and those who just kept going despite it for most of the rest of the world to wake up and smell the mediascape. But, in that context, I think Jeff Nolan makes a reasonable case for why “2.0″ actually has meaning, at least in the enterprise. And even if you don’t buy that, it’s a great blog post (despite the snarky coastism).
