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.

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 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

"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).

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.
