Re: [Moderator Action] Internet 2.0

Hi Erika,

Web 2.0 is an effective marketing term. I recommend reading Tim
O'Reilly's article on what he considers Web 2.0:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html

Most of what drives Web 2.0 under the hood are W3C standards; in the
coming months I anticipate we will be doing more to ensure that people
recognize W3C's role in enabling some of the current movements.
