[...] This qwerky business has gotten out of hand. No, not like that. In having too much fun with chalking up names us humans never heard beforeâ€”never mind those lawsuits!â€”some Israelis have done something bolder: creating a whole new language to back up that new name. [...]

What has Tim Berners-Lee claimed as his own of the World Wide Web? You’d think he’d have numerous claims, being that he actually invented it. O’Reilly didn’t invent anything, he just put a successful tag on something. There’s a reason why some people are revered and made Knights…

Wikipedia is dead. :P

Next thing we know, AOL owns the Internet.

Again.

@corsarius: true! although the argument is — what about wikipedia and everything? not that they’re exactly comparable. first this. next, the internet.

crimony! i agree with rickdog. nobody owns the term “web 2.0″. any claim on it seems to me a mockery, a farce.

@rickdog: well put! i really want to find out where the web 2.0 term really came from. i’m not too sure, though, how o’reilly plans to take action on all the sites and people that have mentioned it. it’s pretty weird now. like a party pooper (or a tell-tale sign of the decline of the era).

@jangelo: haha. :) yeah, i like to think that branding is an important part of the decision-making for companies and services. superficial, yes, but still instrumental.

This site? Silly? Hmm. I don’t think so. You may write about silly stuff (the names), but in many cases that’s a serious matter (espeically in business and web app ventures).

Ah, the things we think up in the wee hours of the morning. 2:52 AM? 5:24 AM?

Who does O’Reilly think he is to have *ANY* legal claim to Web2.0? It existed long before him and just because he put a successful tag on it doesn’t give him any rights, it just made it easier for us to track it. He better keep his money-grubbing hands off it, be contrite, and give a nod to those that came before him who made it what it is. No more animal books for me!
