Personally, and I don't care what the 'purists' say, I just enjoy the design elements common to the Web 2.0 movement. Give me big fonts, lots of white space, and a clear message. No more of that 4 or 5 columns of 6 point font crammed in so tight you need a magnifying glass to decipher it.

"The problem isn’t necessarily that these products aren’t safe, it’s that they work against behavior that has been hardwired into our psyche."
I think this is a great point. I'm amazed that certain sites think you'll willingly hand over so much personal information. (Mint in particular).

I agree web 2.0 really does not make much sense and I keep asking myself what is web 2.0. I have clients that say they want a website designed web 2.0. Over time design has changed and what they actually want is the latest layout. I think it has very little to do with what people believe is web 2.0

Maybe web 2 refers less to web products & more to people & an era. Web 2 was the era when virtually everyone became web users & web use acquired a significant role in everyday life. The explosion of the social networking & fun sites was the direct consequence of this. The subsequent stages are when the excitement & the novelty wears off, the influx of activity settles down & the web finds its place in conjunction to other activities.

I think you hit the nail on the head there. The next "stage" of the web is when it finally becomes a Utility and crosses over into the mainstream. The interesting question will be what we will gain and lose as a result.
