Web 2.0?

No such thing. It was a trick to see if we could con you into giving us millions for making fancy websites all over again.

Here's a secret. People have been talking on the internet for quite some time now, and funnily enough, user driven content has been around for a year or 2 as well.

What should happen IMHO is we should consider getting our priorities straight and concentrate on getting Internet 2 moving instead.

Given a choice which would you prefer, MySpace clones or a 1Gbit connection?

Perhaps you prefer the social thing, but personally I'll go with a faster connection and being able to download HD movies in a respectable time.

YouTube is cool though, I have to give them that.
