Return Trip

by Stephanie Booth on 12.12.2000

I just noticed that I hadn’t written down the “tale” of my return trip to India. Maybe I’ll clean up the end of my logbook and add it…

thanks to those who answered my survey -- still astonished by various interpretations of "simple, a few sentences" ;-)

How Do You Personally Define or Explain “Web 2.0″? — Climb to the Stars

OK, here's a form if you'd rather explain how you understand web 2.0 with a little more privacy ;-) http://bit.ly/dfzBUX

The other problem if you peak behind the Web 2.0 blog and wiki curtain is that you’ll find the man pulling the levers is either an enterprise vendor or an analyst eager to sell to business customers. Of special interest to businesses should be SOA 2.0 and grid 2.0. Weeding through the philosophizing on these buzzwords typified here and here, you’ll find some common themes: essentially that version 2.0 goes further than the original idea and also creates a greater degree of flexibility. Specifically, SOA 2.0 is about an event-driven architecture, not just a “client/server relationship”, and uses “deeper semantics” pulled together “mechanically.” Grid 2.0 is about sharing networks and storage resources, and data not just raw computing power. […] What’s really driving SOA 2.0 and grid 2.0 is hollow, buzzword-based marketing by companies trying to stand out in overpopulated and immature markets. On SOA, we have a general, high-level consensus in the absence of a single standards-based definition. Specifications for both SOA and grid are still being devised, and where specifications exist they are not fully implemented by all vendors. This has therefore created a vacuum in which vendors and analysts make hollow and partisan marketing claims to stand out. So-far, only Oracle, backed - curiously - by Gartner believe in SOA 2.0. Systems heavyweight IBM, making its own hollow claims of having dominant market share in SOA, its number-one rival BEA Systems, and SOA cheerleader SAP do not appear to share the Oracle and Gartner view.

most mind-boggling "web x.0" BS I stumbled upon in my search about web 2.0 history/uses: "what's your web 5.0 strategy?"

Sunday 16:02

There are two common problems with Web 2.0 and its derivatives. The first is the desire to characterize Web 2.0 as unique technology with unique consequences for business. Web 2.0 relies on technologies that have been around for years. Berners-Lee pointed out the things that drove Web 1.0 also underpin Web 2.0 - the document object mode, HTML, http, SVG, web standards and - because he’s old school “Java script of course.” Free Software Foundation chief legal counsel Eben Moglen recently concurred at this month’s LinuxWorld, saying Web 2.0 owes its existence to software and development methodologies already established in open source. “The phenomena of the empty buzzword called Web 2.0 can only exist because of the real layer for free and open source software underneath,” Moglen said, letting the Web 2.0 crowd down gently.
