  1. Re:De-aggregate angsty tags to IT channel-partners by dkf · · Score: 1 · on Barrier to Web 2.0 — IT Departments

    For those of you wanting to make a proverbial killing of this 'phenomenon' I refer you to a vital dictionary of terms. I work with people who like to spout that sort of thing, and that link demonstrates more good sense than they often do...
  2. De-aggregate angsty tags to IT channel-partners. by delire · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Barrier to Web 2.0 — IT Departments
    Web 2.Oooh isn't a technology, a thing or even a classifiable approach to client-server engineering. It's the term given to a fad whereby users freely contribute content to increase the bankable assets of entrepreneurs that generally use impossibly complex and dubious EULA's for their own gain.

    Perhaps IT staff aren't keen on implementing it because they don't buy into The Silliness. Call it "Capitalism Meets Social Engineering 2.0" and perhaps the guys in suits with MacBooks and artistic mohawks might have takers in IT.

    As Mark Pilgrim so eloquently put it:

    "Praising companies for providing APIs to get your own data out is like praising auto companies for not filling your airbags with gravel. I'm not saying data export isn't important, it's just aiming kinda low. You mean when I give you data, you'll give it back to me? People who think this is the pinnacle of freedom aren't really worth listening to."

  3. Article is definitely wrong... by GBC · · Score: 2, Funny · on Web 2.0 Distracts from Good Design

    After all, web 2.0 helps me to design rich-client synergies, disintermediate semantic networking and, of course, let's not forget it can assist in syndicating standards-compliant widgets*. Try doing all that on your web 1.0, gramps!

    Oh and whilst I know that mangling the English language has become an artform here on Slashdot, surely "Web 2.0 distracts good design" is bad even by our (admittedly low) standards.

    Don't forget about adding a 'beta' to the end of the name as well. Also, integrating an AJAX-driven GUI will help them incentivize dynamic value from their resulting rss-driven communities.
