WEB 2.0 - a jargon?!
Before I did anything to my site, I heard the term, WEB 2.0 for a while but I have never dug in to understand what WEB 2.0 really is. Last week, just like most of you, I WIKI this and found out the definition of this term. I am not here to make a stand but I do agree with Tim Berners-Lee that Web 2.0 is just a jargon. What I find the most frustrating thing in today’s tech field is having some programmers self-invented tons of re-used methodologies and re-packed it to the market with a cute/witty label. Of course, people who stand behind these new jargons can argue night and day about the differences, and I have no interest to follow up those discussions. Web 1.0, 2.0, 2.99, 3.00 or Web XP - they are completely meaningless…in the same level, I do find BLOGGING is not a new thing - afterall, before Internet, people wrote diaries and later we had Internet, people used HTML to build their web sites and some people (like me using geocities account) provided dynamic contents which acted like BLOGGING. Unless there are any new invention like, HTML, javascript, PHP, SQL or Flash, I still prefer people not to abuse terminology that much.
