"Now a barrage of memos signals the emergence of a new generation of web-based software, often called 'Web 2.0'. As in previous cases, what is new is not the idea itself, but the fact that Microsoft is taking it seriously."
Funny how when Microsoft takes something seriously, I don't. This Web 2.0 crap is stupid. Just because the W3C and some developers who use XML are becoming better doesn't mean we have to dub the "World Wide Web" a.k.a. "The Internet" a.k.a. "Porn" a.k.a. "The Net/Web", "The Web 2.0". We already have enough names, can't it just be called, "The Internet" as it should be called, hence the interconnected networks?
Well there are so many good reasons that have been mentioned that the only one I can think of is Flying Spaghetti Monsterism. Also see the Wikipedia entry for an explaination of what it means.

I learned that in 8th grade physics. Funny, yet lacking sense, like Bill Gates. Good job.

What does RSS and sharing stuff have to do with "The Web 2.0". RSS is just an XML technology... we've had those for a long time.
