So what and where is your web 2.0?

What's in your 'web 2.0'?

What do you define to be your web 2.0 and where are you .. which of your 2.0 sites do you use regularly?
And where did you try but didn't like or didn't find any use for?

I'm skipping 2.0, waiting for 3.0.

I would say that about the only web 2.0 that I'm using now is MySpace. I almost went ahead and set up a RoundCube webmail server which uses AJAX, but it wasn't happy about having to run on a Windows 2000 Server box. . Oh, and GMail if you count that as web 2.0.

Also, do podcasts count? They pretty much became popular around 2005, when web 2.0 was just coming into the mainstream. At least that's when I started to listen to a lot of podcasts.

I also have something akin to a blog on my family website, but it's not true "web 2.0". I update it manually, so I guess it's more like web 1.5.

There have been "blogs" since the beginning of the web, really. Community sites: Same thing. If all web 2.0 is is the use of "multimedia" and AJAX on "community sites", then it's simply not anything I'd call "2.0". Again: I'm waiting for 3.0.

That said, I'm using digg, gmail and youtube.

Well community sites and forums and such are not something I'd count to the 2.0. So skipping those ...
Flickr? Even if it's sort of social, I'd still file it under my 1.0.

Digg? usually classified as 2.0, but boring .. I pass there once every 6 months or so.
Myspace? Created a profile, never bothered to update anything. Like the hotmail of the blogosphere. And no, Tom is NOT my friend. Way too many emos and flashy icons and annoying musics, and doesn't even properly work in my browser. No thanks.
So the only one I really bother to use is LinkedIn but that to keep in touch with people who change companies, or people from work, studies etc. So there is not a reason to go there daily but casually.
Someone hinted Facebook would be way more popular in some parts of Europe. So I signed up .. to keep in touch with people from work etc after they or I have changed companies, and for those who aren't in LinkedIn.

Other than that .. hmm. 1.0 will do. Forums and flickr and everything else is still there ...
Or hm.. blogs are not as themselves on the 2.0 .. but if i RSS them are they then ... ?

Web 2.0 is a marketing gimmick. I want Web 2.0 to have OPEN standards across the board! That would be Web 2.0 to me.

I do agree with you there.
