So often, I have to give a history lesson during training sessions, outlining how we got to Web 2.0, what it is all about and why it is different from Web 1.0 (although there never used to be such a thing as Web 1.0, but there you go). I knocked out this three minute story last year as part of a keynote speech/presentation I was asked to do and it has been coming in handy ever since - so here you go, hope it is what you were looking for!

Is the term "web 2.0" (or any 2.0 phrase for that matter) about to be as worn out as "Y2k", Levis 501 or "thinking outside the square"?

Erik,
Thanks for stopping by and for your comment. I quite agree with you that Web 2.0 is already an overused term and likely to go the way that you suggest. I suspect someone will come up with another description before too long, designed to illustrate the next 'paradigm shift' (another overworn phrase).
