Web 2.0… it’s the services, stupid
January 25th, 2006
David Teten very nicely summarizes the NYSIA panel on Web 2.0 …
We’ve been bouncing around Web 2.0 ad nauseum… defined by Tim here.
However, I’ve been thinking about it in simpler terms, namely
web 1.0 = data, web 2.0 = services
Web 1.0 = Data ownership with functions layered on top of it
(ebay, ticketmaster, match.com, craigslist, etc)
Web 2.0 = Services layered on top of (distributed or available) data
(google, pubsub, tagging, mashups, amazon, etc)
The more I think about it, the more the services vs. data distinction holds up, despite it being a bit reductionist.
Dina Metha has some nice tangents on 2.0…

Yes I guess, but I think this focus may be too narrow to support the views of Tim O’Reilly and Tim Berners Lee who seem to suggest it’s a very profound change in emphasis for the online world – a shift to community/collective intelligence/complex webs of interconnected dynamic data/ etc. Where commercialism has come to drive the existing web (and is a big influence on Web 2.0), I do not think commercialism is the *primary* driver. Ideas are primary and that is like the very early web.
At MIX06 O’Reilly interviewed Bill Gates and it was striking to me how Gates (who I respect) and MS in general seemed out of touch with the big news of Web 2.0.
