What do you guys and gals think about the whole Web 2.0 craze?

For example: flickr, upcoming.org, etc.

I like it. I love clean CSSish designs.

Also, a lot of these Web 2.0 sites are built around communities which is a nice feature.
 


I think it's one off those hyped buzz words, some new javascript gimmicks and you increment the version of the internet...
 
Web2.0 is Bs, It's just regular websites which are a little more optimized or something, which they call a 'revolution' blegh. Esspecialy microsoft tends to use this term with no meaning at all
 
I also like many of the clean CSS driven designs. And if your definition of Web 2.0 includes community driven sites, semantically valid markup, syndication of data, and clean meaningful URLs (also helpful for SEO) then I think there are many good things about Web 2.0. Sure there is plenty of hype as well.

I'm pretty sure my websites that I made long before the 2.0 hype do all the things you mentioned in there!
 
Yeah you never can say internet is going into a new tier, it grows and evolves step by step. Maybe with the exploiding growth of broadband users there might be somesort of big step. But seeing it from the designing point of view it's always in very small steps...
 
Eh, just another buzz word. While there are definately some benefits to the whole thing that have been mentioned, web 2.0 is just a buzz word coined to bring in the publicity.

I do admit I like a lot of the designs associated with it, but then a lot of sites are now trying to be "web 2.0" when they really shouldnt be. For example, not all sites need to be weighed down with javascript just because its neat.
 
Most web 2.0 sites have little or no actual business model or potential for profit. They do offer some interesting ideas when it comes to site design, and all spammers can salute their spam ridden designs.
 
The Web of documents has morphed into a Web of data. We are no longer just looking to the same old sources for information. Now we’re looking to a new set of tools to aggregate and remix microcontent in new and useful ways.

This kinda sums it up, what is actually ment by web2.0 but i dont think you can determine site by a number. For example simple community sites with a integrated forum but without a user, blogging feature would be classified as web1.7 or something?!

exactly my thoughts
 
When I hear web2.0 I always think Ajax... though I guess it shouldn't just be limited to that
 
what really annoys me is when ppl use Web 2.0 to make their designs sound better "Awesome Web 2.0 Design....WEB TWO POINT OH"
 
I know what they mean by web 2.0, but it sound stupid because it was long there before 'web 2.0' was declared. Why dont just call it interactive-community based webspace or whatever..

Because "interactive-community based webspace" sounds like shit :p

People love hype and buzz and cool sounding buzzwords.
 
I think it's about as different from regular websites as moving your website name to the right side of your page title from the left...

It's all just random-ass hype.
