Via Alexander Muse at the Texas Venture Capital Blog. BusinessWeek posts (boldface added by me):
But Tim O'Reilly, whose publishing company runs the Web 2.0 conference, makes an impassioned defense
that goes beyond mere self-interest. He notes that the term has helped
define a new generation of technologies whose social nature differs
qualitatively from the broadcast-oriented first generation of Web
technologies.
I
think that BusinessWeek captures it nicely. But as Alexander point out
in his post, some should be concerned that many people have no idea
what others are talking about when referring to "Web 2.0". This new
generation of technologies gives new meaning to the term "generation
gap".
And yes, I do (personally) consider 21Publish a Web 2.0 company.
