Why+I+dislike+the+term+Web+2.0

A number of reasons: > If in 1993, Berner-Lee said that I have this new thing and I am going to call it Web 1.0 then maybe those people using the term 2.0 may be justified. > Web 2.0 happened, it was not designed. It is a loose collection of technologies, some created by specific organizations, many not. In anycase, there is no group of people that are laying out a feature set and engaged in any design and engineer process to create a "product". There may be groups within companies that are working on web applications and, in doing so, trying to "steer" the nature of the web. But they hardly constitute a coherent design of a phenomenon. > Hardly. The phenomenon is constantly evolving in response to new technologies and social demands.
 * **Implies there is a Web 1.0**
 * **Implies there is a notion of monolithic design.**
 * **Implies that there is a frozen and defined feature set.**
 * **It's hyperbole.** It is used to imply the that it is the latest and greatest thing without giving any real indication of what is it.
