OK, I admit it. Sometimes I latch on to the new new buzzword... and I've done it with Web 2.0. But honestly, I'm finding the concept fascinating. Here's what I wrote in the current issue of my newsletter, WordBiz Report:
In simple terms, Web 2.0 is an emerging version of the Web that's more user-friendly and more useful. Some say it's new; others say it's part of an evolution. I think it sounds "new"!
You'll experience it through user-generated content (blogging is one example), easy-to-use collaborative tools (wikis are an example but they're not "new") and the ability to customize your use of the Web.
There's a whole techie thing underlying Web 2.0 (having to do with building software applications) but I'm not even going to try to go there.
Read the whole issue here to get useful links and three free downloads.

I guess there’s no stopping the use of the term “Web 2.0.” As I explained here(http://www.meryl.net/articles/archives/003870.php unlike a software project—there is no clear start and finish to the changing Web.
