Well Web 2.0 is the new Web. It’s characterized by social media websites such as Flickr, Digg, etc. Many (wrongfully) think it has to do with new trendy layouts (large graphics, pastel colours, etc), but as the video explains, it has to do with user generated content (voting on Digg, uploading photographs to Flickr, commeting on blogs), and the versatility of the said content. Additionally things like web standards (W3C) and accessability play an important role in making Web 2.0 more user friendly and accessable.

@Paul – good point. hehe – Dont judge a website by its CSS? Many people see a new trend in style or AJAX widgets and scream Web 2.Ohh!, but it is the idea of simplicity and usability that drive those designs, and users that generate content for the widgets. The finer details are often missed.

@seanrox – glad you have enjoyed the video, and thank you for the link

That video was well worth watching. It’s nice when people realize that there is more to web 2.0 than the looks. People say “Web 2.0 is just a fad” when really they mean that the design elements we see these days are a fad, and in that I agree with them. But I don’t think many people would say that the elements of web 2.0 like user generated content, usability, simplicity, etc. will go away any time soon.
