I could just be that ive been in an annoyable mood today, but I am simply sick of people saying web 2.0 is the newest thing to hit the internet, and that this design is web 2.0. I got news, WEB 2.0 IS NOT NEW! Most people associate web 2.0 with RSS feeds and ajax (another over-used term) stuff like that, but RSS has been around since 2000, its had stuff like it since 1995 (source: wiki). AJAX isnt new either, it is just using javascript with XML, it has been possible for years, it just hasn't been used. So if you think about it, web2.0 not only isnt new, it doesnt really exist. It would be exactly the same if I somehow brought RoR to as much use as PHP and started calling RoR new, and the technology I use web 4.0. Web 2.0 is nothing a collections of old (web 1.0 for lack of a better term) web techs and hype.

I am almost ready to hurt anyone who says that their design is web 3.0 with seriousness.
