Five Reasons Why Web 2.0 Matters
jg21 writes "Dion Hinchcliffe, who is becoming the closest thing outside of Tim O'Reilly to being a Web.2.0 popularizer and evangelist, has summarized what he considers to be the five major benefits of Web 2.0 best practices. Hinchcliffe singles out the tactical potential of aligning with Web 2.0's increasingly ballistic trajectory: 'You can use the leviathan forces of attention and enthusiasm that are swirling around Web 2.0 these days as a powerful enabler to make something important and exciting happen in your organization.'"
"I've been spending a lot of time lately with folks around the mid-Atlantic region and talking to them about Web 2.0."
Firstly that there are a lot of people on Ascension Island. Secondly that there are a lot of web type people there!
Maybe he was referring to the Azores...
Once you find out, you'll realize it's just a bunch of "synergistic ideas."
The Focus of Technology Moves To People With Web 2.0. One of the lessons the software industry relearns every generation is that it's always a people problem. It's not that people are the actual problem of course. It's when software developers naively use technology to try to solve our problems instead of addressing the underlying issues that people are actually facing. Then the wrong things inevitably happen...
Or does someone have a link that's translated from PR bullshit to English?
You don't have any idea what your talking about. Web 2.0 is poised to expedite e-business platforms and mesh sticky supply-chains with integrated transparent interfaces that transform visionary markets. Through iterating one-to-one paradigms, it revolutionize cross-media mindshare.
Web2.0, AJAX, DHTML, .NET, Open Source, Frameworks, Standards, Paradigms, SDLC, RIA, SOE, SEO, WMD, etc.
TGIF!
the only permanence in existence, is the impermanence of existence.
Normally, I'd try to be helpful and provide a translation link when TFA isn't in english, but I couldn't find a "Marketing" option on Bablefish....
"You can use the leviathan forces of attention and enthusiasm that are swirling around Web 2.0 these days as a powerful enabler to make something important and exciting happen in your organization."
So in otherwords, you can use new ideas to make your business applications better. Well no shit sherlock!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need to take our language back from the marketing people. We keep cramming more and more words in to a sentence while the real information content is falling. People, please, start using English rather than this marketing horse-shit. Language is about communciation and not obfuscation!

Woo, web 2.0. I hope they fixed all the bugs from the first version.
We're better off waiting for Web 3.11.

Don't you have someone you'd die for?
I'm pretty sure I didn't parse that the way you intended it. Oddly, it makes a pretty decent pseudo-haiku.
Moderation: -1, Didn't use "leverage"
I, on the other hand, found the article easily comphrehensible. In fact, it's pretty obvious to me that all Web 2.0 really needs is to leverage the repurposing of synergistic, best-of-breed e-markets into more scalable, cross-platform action-items, allowing us to harness the power of the aggregation of one-to-one metrics in a way that will simultaneously optimize and extend several world-class, out-of-the-box web-readiness initiatives and give us the disintermediated mindshare we're all after. What could be easier?

Certainly there are other reasons why Bathroom Tissue is important and you're welcome to list them here, but I think this captures the central vision in a way that most anyone who craps can grasp and access.
BTW, I will also use this moment to state that Bathroom Tissue is a terrible name for this new vision of paper-based people-centric product. Except that is for every other name we have at the moment (for example, like "next generation of the arsewipe"). So I will continue to use Bathroom Tissue until something better comes along.
OK, don't agree? Please straighten me out. Why does bathroom tissue matter (or not) to you?
Toilet paper anyone?

I'm a fiscal conservative, it's a pity we don't have a political party anymore
It means it'll skyrocket upwards until it loses all of its initial velocity, then will come plunging to the earth at 9.8m/s^2
It will hit you at the same horizontal speed, however.
So basically it will be hyped and hyped until the hype expires, but all of the venture capital will come a-crashing in when it hits the ground!

Interesting that only 2 people according to the Reg, liked Web 2.0. Maybe that's why it's called Web 2.0?
And if you're still unsure if a site is Web 2.0, pass it through the Official Web 2.0 Validator

You're kidding, right?
