Web 2.0 its a peice of jargon!

With having no real definition of web 1.0, its hard to explain just what exactly is web 2.0.
Many feel its a buzz word that is used everytime some new technology or idea happens online, and a phrase which could eventually mean nothing as its so overused.

Berners-Lee, the man responsible for the invention of the world wide web, has dismissed Web 2.0 as useless jargon nobody can explain and a set of technology that tries to achieve exactly the same thing as "Web 1.0."
In a recent IBM developersWork podcast Berners-Lee explains that the web was always about connecting people, nothing has changed, web is an interaction between people and always will be, and were just building on what web 1.0 gave us.

LANINGHAM: "You know, with Web 2.0, a common explanation out there is Web 1.0 was about connecting computers and making information available; and Web 2 is about connecting people and facilitating new kinds of collaboration. Is that how you see Web 2.0?"

BERNERS-LEE: "Totally not. Web 1.0 was all about connecting people. It was an interactive space, and I think Web 2.0 is of course a piece of jargon, nobody even knows what it means. If Web 2.0 for you is blogs and wikis, then that is people to people. But that was what the Web was supposed to be all along.

I would agree with Berners-Lee comment about the web's function which is to connect people. But although its hard to to define it, we must be able to demonstrate its transition. Hype word or not, Its obvious things are changing, were are connecting to each other on a completely new level, in a completely new way which is is exciting, new, and innovate resulting in a greater online user experience. If Berners-Lee is calling what we had before web 1.0, and its now been upgraded, why not call it web 2.0?. I do agree it has built on what we had before in web 1.0, but like with everything, things get upgraded to the latest model from the previous don't they? we're not changing it's function simply improving it for everyone.
Web 2.0 is about a critical mass of users and the bandwidth to let them do things, AND developers who are ready to give away tools for building, you can dismiss all you like. But its happen, and happening in a big way. Now.
