**Bye Bye Web 2.0**  
  
In fact, I've always been uncomfortable with the term

web 2.0

and it is seriously starting to annoy me now. Thus I have decided to excise it from my vocabulary.

Henceforth it shall be referred to throughout my domain as

social computing

\- and that term encompasses all ideas, notions and stuff (like social media, new media, social networking, etc) that used to be called

that other name

.

There I feel much better now! But I still like my reflective logos :)

UPDATE 23 Oct 2008:

I'm including the term web x.0 in this ban, so don't expect me to talk about web 3.0, web 4.0, or any other x.0! Thanks to @wmeissner for helping to clarify this :)
