O'Reilly Network: What Is Web 2.0

Interesting perspective on Web 2.0
- Web IS the Platform
- We control our own data (and content)
- Services, not packaged software (good luck Microsoft)
- Architecture of 'participation'
- Highly scalable (when was the last time google.com was down?)
- Remixable data source and data transformations (until there are data standards, data needs to be easily transformable and 'mixable' for specific needs)
- Software should be 'agnostic' of device
- Harnesses 'collective' intelligence (right now it is hidden in blogs, emails, text files, spreadsheets, and in people's heads, etc.)
