Darwinian Web
Adam Green's thoughts on the evolution of the Internet

Web 1.1 is more like it

I challenge anyone who understands how all this new stuff, like APIs and Ajax, actually works to look me in the eye and honestly say this isn't just Web 1.1. Come on. Once you get down to it we're talking about new applications of HTTP, and some standards about naming things in text files. Yes, it is really cool, but no, it isn't a new generation of the Web. It's more like the Web moved to California and bought a new wardrobe. But, as long as we all agree to call it Web 2.0, that's what I'll be calling it too.
