I'm not particularly convinced either.

Whilst I welcome new technologies that will allow us to interact in all sorts of clever ways there will always be demand for the unsophisticated. Google Search will remain a simple affair and the likes of Jakob Nielsen and Webcredible will continue to help websites become more effective/profitable y adopting 'keep it simple' strategies.

I also don't see my father, a man of 71, interacting with websites that behave more like desktop applications. All he is after is information that is easy to read.

Sure, Flickr and Writely rock. But they are hardly revolutionary. They were not around 4 years ago because broadband wasn't as widespread as it is now.

If anything, Web 2.0 is about bandwidth.

          Take a look at (http://protopage.com/v2) Protopage - user control, AJAX, RSS. It's got Web 2.0 written all over it. No doubt some 'mashups' in there too somewhere (just trying out ...
