Turn Out the Lights, the Web 2.0 Party is Over!

According to my friend, Stuart MacDonald, the whole Web 2.0 thing is over. This is not to suggest Web 2.0 was a fad that has come and gone like Pet Rocks, but the fact it's no longer the “New Shiny Orb” that has had everyone so fired up for the past few years. Instead, Stuart contends Web 2.0 is starting to move into the mainstream where it will just become a part of how we live work and play – much like e-commerce has lost its novelty factor and become part of the everyday landscape.
