Is Web 2.0 delivering on its promises?

My experience has been that a lot of user generated content out there is rather weak. apart from Wikipedia, the most useful stuff on the web is pre-Web 2.0

Is Web 2.0 delivering on its promises?
Web 2.0 never made any promises. It is an attempt to create a new .com era, with a newer generation of web technologies. No one company, group or individual is behind the movement. It's more an idea than anything else.





I've seen lots of nice Ajax web 2.0 sites, like Yahoo Answers to name one.
Reply:Web 2.0 is just a marketing name for advanced web technologies, like Ajax. The fact that content is weak has absolutely nothing to do with the technology or what you call it. Do you blame the printer or the publishing house if you read a crappy book?
