Web 2.0 is different from web 1.0 . Do You Agree ?

Max Smolev Says:

I disagree. Web 2.0 is only about renaming and making “old thing” easier, not about “brand new thing!”.
Web 2.0 is about _company based_ communities. No matter how it’s called, most sites that provide Web 2.0 services are companies. Yes, they allow communities to form, but so did Yahoo when Blogging was not popular.
Web 2.0 is _not_ about Peer to Peer. Show me one Blog system that lives in the state of flux without a server. Any one?
XML/HTML does not matter. Transitional and strict standards are used now. Your page is HTML, not strict XML .
Blogs are homepages. Just as some people were regularly posting new pages via Frontpage (scream of terror), now some people regularly update their homepage via online form. Called “Blog”. Means “Homepage”. (see MySpace)
Web 2.0 RSS is quickly goes the way of Portals. RSS feeds are aggregated. Special tools invented to group them and read in one place. Result — virtual analog of a Portal, allbeit a bit more customized.
Web 1.0 had “keywords”, Web 2.0 calls it “tags”
Web 1.0 has Wap. Web 2.0 has… well… Wap
Owning and Sharing is not linked to the type of web. Geocities is for sharing, yet Web 1.0.
Web 2.0 is about IPO and selling off to the highest bidder (See LJ deal)
Web 1.0 had free services, click-and-get-something-for-free sites and such. Now one company dominates providing free services. Is it that different?
Web 2.0 Relies on web applications (mostly), which are happily used by “Web 1.0″ sites.
Web 1.0 Aggregators did the job of Web 2.0 tool providers. Same idea, shifted focus (and if you want to include something from web 2.0 into your site/product you still need an adapter, allthough standard is nice to have)
Web 1.0 could live on broadband. But I thought you said Web 2.0 is about wireless? Both can live on broadband. Or say Hello to CNN video feeds over 56k modem.Both web 1.0 and 2.0 now have benefit of cheaper hardware, so bandwidth costs become sizeable.
So… I don’t see any real argument on why Web 2.0 is different and why it should be called a special word. Just Blogs/Homepages all over and expansion of free services provided since “Web 1.0″ times. Buzzword and IPO fever.
