Web 2.0 Is Dead. Long Live Web 2.0!
As far as “Web 2.0 as a software business model” goes, I repeat my initial view from October, 2008 here. There is no longer Web 2.0 as a software business model, and there has never been one. Yes, there has been an attempt to initiate Web 2.0 as a software business model which finally crashed and burned in 2008, four years after the Web 2.0 kool-aid was declared and named by its creators and offered as the sacred solution to the software industry as the path to the software industry heaven. Now the followers of the never existing “Web 2.0 software industry” cult see themselves in a situation similar to many Wall Street companies.
