Web 2.0
This is what I look like after I've been 2.0-ified:

I've been talking to a few people about Web 2.0 (and all the other 2.0s) recently - I even gave a talk about it at Warwick University earlier in the year - and I'm glad to report that it's not just me that thinks it's a load of bunkum!
The way I see it, 2.0 is mainly about finding a way for venture capitalists to justify investing in the Web again... judging by the number of start-ups that I know have found funding over recent months, it's working!
EDIT It seems I'm not the only one to be cynical about Web 2.0; none other than Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the web "has dismissed Web 2.0 as useless jargon nobody can explain and a set of technology that tries to achieve exactly the same thing as "Web 1.0."" /EDIT
