>> different from Web 1.0 at all.
>>
>> When asked if it's fair to say that the difference between the two might
>> be fairly described as "Web 1.0 is about connecting computers, while Web
>> 2.0 is about connecting people," Berners-Lee replied, "Totally not. Web
>> 1.0 was all about connecting people. It was an interactive space, and I
>> think Web 2.0 is of course a piece of jargon, nobody even knows what it
>> means. If Web 2.0 for you is blogs and wikis, then that is people to

>> fact, you know, this 'Web 2.0,' it means using the standards which have
>> been produced by all these people working on Web 1.0."" - from:

>> #2:
>>
>> "If Web 2.0 means anything at all, its meaning lies in the rationale of
>> venture capital. Web 2.0 represents the return of investment in internet
>> startups. After the dotcom bust (the real end of Web 1.0) those wooing
>> investment dollars needed a new rationale for investing in online
>> ventures. ‘Build it and they will come’, the dominant attitude of the
>> ’90s dotcom boom, along with the delusional ‘new economy’, was no longer
>> attractive after so many online ventures failed. Building infrastructure
>> and financing real capitalisation was no longer what investors were
>> looking for. Capturing value created by others, however, proved to be a
>> more attractive proposition." - from:
