What worries Matt McAlister about the term Web 2.0

Posted on Thursday, April 6, 2006 by Rex Hammock

What worries Matt McAlister about the term ‘Web 2.0′: (You go, brother.) “Of course, the name “Web 2.0″ was coined by a geek for geeks. It turns out that it’s still too opaque for most people to understand….I’m hoping the naming muddle will keep people confused long enough for a few more breakthroughs to put a few more startups safely into profitability before the backlash starts to have a real impact.”

    Taylor, you’re right. My nomination for one of the breakthrough startups is http://podbop.org/ to make money before the backlash. I have another few in mind, as well.
