I know what Web 2.0 is (vaguely, until I looked it up on the web), but WWW2 was different. I think it was a separate web that was supposed to have much higher technical standards (mostly in terms of hardware) than the Internet of its day. I think the effort simply was merged with the rest of the web.

It's like, you know, user-generated this time, man. Social networking, video sharing, stuff like that. The capitalists hope to make a buck off all this selfless collective labor. Maybe, but think of how few of these fantasies survived from Web 1.0. Amazon's big, but it's barely making any money. eBay's making some money. There are a few more, but that's about it.
