So where did web 2.0 come from? I’ve just signed up for Andy’s conference, d:construct, and I’m quite excited. Not because it’s going to be interesting to hear about everybody’s projects and how they wrote and, I guess, are marketing them, but because, I want to hear what Web 2.0 means to people. I hope that these are the people that will help me understand what all the fuss is about.
I consider us to be at Web 1.5, and that in itself is generous.
To compare it to mobile phone technology, Web 0.5 (web beta?) was analogue GSM, 1G, which then became digital, or 2G, then we added GPRS as an interim fix while we all waited for 3G. GPRS became known as 2.5G. it didn’t do a lot more, but maybe a bit quicker, ok and the pricing structure was a bit different… Maybe this isn’t the best analogy…
