I remember when Tim O'Reilly coined the term Web 2.0 for a collection of unrelated web development and business practices. I don’t know if his essay holds up.

I remember when Tim O'Reilly coined the term Web 2.0 for a collection of unrelated web development and business practices. I don’t know if his essay holds up. https://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html https://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.ht... Clearly something has changed from Web 1.0, but everyone sees that part of the elephant differently. If your interested in APIs, maybe the moment Web 2.0 died was when Twitter killed its RSS feeds. Technically true, but it doesn’t get the social change. As a „Xennial“ I’m with you: the blogosphere and independent homepages, loosely joined, was and is for me the truest expression how the Web should be. (But maybe that is just because we spend our early adulthood in that timespan.)
