Please forgive me for not knowing.
I am a web developer (I work full time as a web developer).

What is web 2.0 ?
So... how do I make web site differently?
I mainly use DreamWeaver 8.
So.. is there a DreamWeaver 8 for web 2.0 ?
Do I add special code for web 2.0?
Do I use entirely new web developing tool?
How does it work?

Sorry, I've been busy making web sites.
I thought I'll be OK if I keep using the most updated programs (such as DW).

pretty sure he was joking but more to the point, why is it such a STUPID name?!

how do u pronounce it.. "webtwodotzero"? or "web 2"??

It's a marketing buzz word, suppose the only real meaning it has is for impressive ajax applications like Google Mail, Google Spreadsheets, Google Maps, Google Calander, etc

[lukasarts]

It's a load of old cobblers

[cocknose]

hasn't it got to do with easy usability and interface and stuff like that?

[datahound]

a mindset related to standards based design and a rejection of table layouts?

it's a hype created by Tim O'Reilly, alot of theories floating around but some people think that it web 2.0 was created so that some people could capitalise on 'hyping' up a new wave of web design/development technologies, which so happens to be stuff that people have already been using for ages!

its been misinterpreted quite a bit too... refelective logos for example..

on the plus side it did make alot of designers/developers realise they needed to catch up with what the trends were and you see fewer websites with tables and alot more websites utilising cool stuff like ajax and some thought towards accessibility etc..

Semantic Mark-up
Reflecting logo's
AJAX
Tagging

to sum it up:
A combination of ideas and techniques that hype up webdevelopers and power the second dotcom bubble.

But right now it's trendy to label it as an irrational hype.

trendy?! web 2.0 is far more guilty of setting a trend than those who choose to bastardise it...

agree to disagree...

I don't see another bubble burst - this time the money is being invested more carefully... and there is more money flowing into the web from ecommerce.

Web 1.8 was a bit of a flop. They refined it and moved it onto a major release rather than another point release.

Web 2.0 means using the web as it was meant to be used, and Google does. That's their secret.

good grief, my opinion is shared by someone who knows what they are talking about. This must surely be a first on DT
