In all seriousness, Web 2.0 is mostly hype. There's a lot of great technology and ideas that are coming along and really maturing the web, but calling it "Web 2.0" is a misunderstanding in my view. I mean, I know why it's being called that, but it confuses people. It's not "a new web" - it should be called "the semantic web...as it was supposed to be all along."

Then there's the fluff nonsense - the "Web 2.0 style" (big fonts, pastel colors, gradients, etc, etc) which isn't always bad, but does not a "Web 2.0" site make.

No. It. Isnt.

And what Tim O'Reilly was talking about wasn't a design style. It's more conceptual/technical than that.

Websites that you can call Web 2.0 are mainly websites that consist of:

Reflective Logos
Glossy Images
Drop Shadows
AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript & XML)
Rounded Corners
And a few others...

Where rounded corners are actually important.
Hope that clears up the foggy image you get when you think Web 2.0.

Are we to assume you were being sarcastic here?

In my humble, web 2.0 should be web 3.0. First there were static, awfully designed sites (web 1.0), then came along e-commerce and more user-interaction, then came web '3.0', with alot more interaction, user-generated content etc, and of course those all important pastel coloured logos with rounded corners...
