There have been some occasions recently when a particular technology or
solution we have been looking at was referred to as "Web 2.0".  Some
preliminary research on what is "Web 2.0" has only confused me some
more.  So (with Steve Guerin's blessing) I decided it would be useful to
poll the FRIAM group with a few questions in an attempt to clarify the
meaning of the term.

I hope to include a summary of the various thoughts and opinions in an
upcoming newsletter I put out.  I'll post a copy here too.  So, there
are only a few ground rules:

    * I won't mention names of contributors in anything I publish.
    * In responding, you are letting me quote you (anonymously) and
      letting me use the compiled responses, without copyright
      infringement.
    * Please try not to bury me with long epistles, material that is
      excessively technical or laced with large doses of jargon.
    * Please send your contributions directly to me at
      robert at cirrillian.com by September 15, 2008.

The newsletter (http://www.cirrillian.com/newsletters.html) is free and
comes out about 4 times a year.

So here are a few questions to get the gray matter going:

    * What was Web 1.0?
    * What is Web 2.0: a technology, a style of usage, a type of
      application, none of the above, all of the above?
    * What will follow?
    * Is there anything worth mentioning in between?
    * What can your share about your profession?

Thanks for your contributions!
