Web 2.0/meme map?

Can anyone explain the whole "Web 2.0" thing to me....I've been researching it for where I work. Also, a colleague of mine and I were wondering......what does "meme map" stand for or mean? We've been checking out a chart that shows/explains the web as platform.





Many thanks ahead of time!!

Web 2.0/meme map?
Web 2.0 is an ideology, and many view it as people attempting to create a new .com bubble. Basically, web 2.0 apps are more dynamic rather than static, and usually use some neat new technologies like Ajax. Basically, a web 2.0 app should be capable of many things that Windows can do, within reason.
Reply:Web 2.0 is a pointless term used by people in marketing, sales, ect. It does not have a real technical definition and you can only sort of classify sites as Web 2.0 (although since the definition is up for interpretation again it is pointless). Rather than having to use the proper terms or understand the technology behind the web application they can simply say it is a Web 2.0 application and that will make it sound swell.
