Let's Kill Web 2.0 -- Now!: Page 2 of 2

It's time to finally ban the term, because it's become the favorite of hypsters, pseudo techno-hipsters, and scamsters.

"Hey, I have an idea! Let's sell dog food over the Internet! We'll get a sock puppet to be our mascot -- and we'll say it's a Web 2.0 site!"
