Web is now almost unrecognisable from its start in 1990s
by Brian Kelly at 7/23/2008 8:11:28 AM
Two different focuses: move towards greater interactivity and move towards better usability and accessibility. With these collide?
by Brian Kelly at 7/23/2008 8:12:29 AM
What's bad with Web 2.0? Things aren't inherently bad, but have risks. e.g. diversion of scarce resources.
by Brian Kelly at 7/23/2008 8:14:40 AM
Is Web 2.0 relevant to core user's needs?
by Brian Kelly at 7/23/2008 8:15:00 AM
Web 2.0 can be boring & confusing. Can overwhelem users with choice? e.g. twitter, video, streaming, feature creep ...

Blog plugins are an example of feature creep .

Over 90% of the books in the library are boring - to me, anyway
by Brian Kelly at 7/23/2008 8:18:50 AM

Doesn't take into account that the process of writing a blog may be more important than the product

How is the stream, Andy?
by Brian Kelly at 7/23/2008 8:24:48 AM
Really should ban talking about Web 2.0 and focus on capabilities - too ambiguous otherwise

I can't get at it still, Brian
by Sally EH at 7/23/2008 8:25:07 AM
