Web 2.0 - a "different" definition .. .

In Bruns' 2008 book, he quotes Tim O'Reilly with this definition of Web 2.0 (see below). Curious as to reactions from the cohort.




Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.

Among these rules are the following:

1. Don’t treat software as an artifact, but as a process of engagement with your users. (“The perpetual beta”).
2. Open your data and services for re-use by others, and re-use the data and services of others whenever possible. (“Small pieces loosely joined”)
3. Don’t think of applications that reside on either client or server, but build applications that reside in the space between devices. (“Software above the level of a single device”)
