What's 2.0?

Confused about all this 'Web 2.0' stuff? You're not the only one. Pundits all over the place, and especially in the library world, have taken "2.0" as a malleable term that can define nearly anything they like or dislike.

It cuts the marketing hype out of the debate, defining Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 by the technologies that drive them and the services they offer. Of course, it focuses on Web 2.0, but it offers great insight into what people in the information world mean (or should mean, anyway) when they talk about Library 2.0.
