    I believe that’s the worst case of geekspeak I’ve ever heard. Hope it’s not terminal.

    Thanks for the video, but you still threw a lot of buzzwords there. I guess it’s impossible for an IT guy to explain things in a simple language. Someone with no geek blood in hm/her should re-do this video.

    Just so you know, This guy loves markers. Look at him, he is holding like 4 of them :) He won’t let them down because that would be inefficient to pick them back up later, plus he is very object-oriented. ahh, nevermind.

    I dont know but there have been quite a few very large “mash up” conferences from companies as large as Microsoft for software developers who have been working on these mash ups or whatever you want to call them.

    It is OUR POWER because people like myself have spent about 20 years of our lives learning to do very difficult technical work which allows us to do things that smart asses like you cant… and then share it with you.

    “Our power” you make it sound like your special. Why would you program something without having a user? Unless your just referring to your blow-up doll 3.0 in your moms basement.

    Wrong…

    The programmers have been the ENTIRE part… now we are sharing our power with you users… but only SHARING … you are not the ENTIRE part.

    Love how he says the end user is an integral part. What a laugh. The user is not just an integral part, he is the entire part without the user there would be nothing To hear this guy though he makes it sound like the bits and bytes have a life of their own and would spontaneously create web sites on their own

    The Bytes are all potential terrorists, we need to tax and regulate these bytes. If left to their own devices they would surely rule the world. Down with bytes and up with the police state

    I cannot believe how stupid things have gotten that a development of something called a ‘wiki’ or ‘link tagging’ becomes part of a term. What a freaking joke. They’re services, nothing more, nothing less. Let’s do not define any growth in technology with a bunch of nonsense. We don’t have Life 1.0 and Life 2.0 do we?

    Best explanation? Web 2.0 is a marketing term. Web 3.0 is a marketing term. These things to not define innovation or inventions in technology, but rather, an increase in particular applications of existing technology. For example, user-generated content sites, simplified searching, etc. It’s a bullshit term unless you’re in the business world, basically.

    Nickel and dime the people that use the stuff for the profit of those that don’t.

    Innocence theorists still deny we live on a prison planet where you have to either work everyday of your life to pay the rent/property tax on the land or keep moving for fear of being thrown in prison for trespassing.

    Food, air and water are no longer free. They have it all locked up in boxes and you need their fiat paper money to get any to survive.

    What is Web 2.0? A Frankenstein monster that will kill the net as you know it. Difference is this is a blessing for commercially viable sites only.

    All you need to know:

    Wikipedia
    It was originally developed by Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski while they were students … The name Zend is a combination of their forenames. Andi Gutmans (Hebrew: אנדי גוטמנס‎) is an Israeli programmer with Swiss roots, PHP developer and co-founder of Zend Technologies.

    What is Web 2.0? Simple answer Web 2.0 means nothing. The Web is a collection of HTML websites. Web is not a technology. HTML, for example is, so it can be upgraded. The web cannot.
