from what I gather, "Web 2.0" is nothing more than simplified, shaded graphics, emporers new clothes and all that
or have I missed something important?

people use it to also mean the fusion of two existing technologies,
or adding networking.
for example, sms+cheesestring = twitter
and facebook

ohh, social networking stuff?
the problem with that kind of thing is there's just TOO MANY numpties out there you wouldn't even want to talk to online, let alone meet

I think it includes stuff like AJAX that turns the web from
simple static pages to pages that can be updated in part without refreshing the lot.

I too am skeptical as to whether it's really 2.0 or just the 'ongoing evolution of web tech'.

of course it's not really 2.0.
it's just shameless marketing by and to idiots.

HAVE YOU NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION THESE PAST FIVE YEARS
 
also having participated in designing staff training in web two point fucking oh (libraries are prone to bandwagonning just about any stupid trendy idea) I found the most satisfying commentary came from similarly cynical and disaffected bodies.

I was however sadly unable to include the gloss "THIS IS A BLOG. IT IS FOR BLOG" in our course design
