Tim O’Reilly deserves this plug

I found Tim O’Reilly’s article, about how the web has changed, interesting. Not earth-shattering, though. More like a neat and tidy compilation of the thoughts and discussions I’ve had with many of my collegues over the past several months and, maybe even, years.

But what made me post this is that Tim O’Reilly put a link on the article for “blog this” with the code to post it. I think that’s brilliant. So here you go, Tim. You earned it. (Except, Tim, you didn’t code the link for the conference! Oops. I fixed it for you…)

What Is Web 2.0 by Tim O’Reilly — Defining just what Web 2.0 means (the term was first coined at a conference brainstorming session between O’Reilly and MediaLive International, which also spawned the Web 2.0 Conference), still engenders much disagreement. Some decry it as a meaningless marketing buzzword, while others have accepted it as the new conventional wisdom. Tim O’Reilly attempts to clarify just what we meant by Web 2.0, digging into what it means to view the Web as a platform and which applications fall squarely under its purview, and which do not.
