If they hadn't coined it someone else would. Im sure everyone here feels that the web now is a hell of alot different than it was during dotcom boom. I think its fair to give (*some) of the concepts and ideas people are bringing to the web a term which sets them apart from the norm, and if web 2.0 is that term so be it. Yes there is hype. But did anyone ever listen to Jacob. If we all did the web would be about as entertaining as nose diving into a deep fat fryer.
