Web 2.0 goes mainstream fast

Man, I'm getting co-opted before I have any opt to co. I knew this Web 2.0 stuff was fun and cool, but it looks like the powers that be get it a little too quickly. The Washington Post now has its own tag cloud connected to an RSS aggregator style feed of their own RSS feeds. They are sitting outside their own site and reading and displaying the content in new ways. That is so Web 2.0.

And in a related story, Amazon now has a product Wiki. So in the past 2 weeks Amazon has started discussion fora, user tagging, and wikis to their product pages. Could they be a little crazed abut collecting user content?
