Burning Bird on My Poll About "Web 2.0"

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

Shelley Powers thinks my poll on whether we should continue to use the "Web 2.0" term is dumb:

[from Burningbird » Web2.0]

This is about a vote on not using this term anymore–which is about the most silly ass thing I’ve heard all month, even if the purpose for the vote is introducing yet another piece of ‘code’ to clutter our pages. We need our terms, Stowe–if we don’t have our terms, how will we separate the cool kids from the hacks with money? So, if Web 2.0 is now contaminated with all the ‘built to flip’ nonsense about, what about another name?

Shelley suggests Web2.0, which is a pain, and doesn't address the basic issue of whether we need to indicate this transition to a new footing for the web with some easily used term.

The poll that she suggests is 'silly ass' is running just about tied, last I looked, so the world of Get Real readers is fairly split between believers and skeptics.
