Comeon. Its a generational style. Think music. Every generations education, upbringing, attitude, experiences produces a style that acts as the meme.
Web 2.0 is a bunch of kids who learnt to network/interface programming rather than app/complier programming and spent their adolescence online both pre and post internet.
It's just a product of how programming kids under 30 see the world. And of course always old people hanging around saying they were there first and always bigcos of various types monetising the culture.
It s a style, an attitude, an approach and of course now it's been named it's over. You really had to be there.

> [the Web 2.0 label] is perfect for elevator pitches and business plans.
Oh boy, I must respectfully but strongly disagree!!!
HUCKSTER: “And it's Web 2.0!”
VC: “Uh, great. And what do you mean by that?”
H (puzzled): “Well, it's a renaissance! I mean, it's totally new! It's an end-to-end best of breed scalable solution for… [embarrassed pause] Oops, sorry, that was from my Web 1.0 notecard. Er, man, it's, like, Web 2.0! All the cool kids' apps are Web 2.0. So mine is cool, too, and…”
VC: “Excuse me. Can you please tell me, in 30 words or less, what problem your offering solves and why people will pay for it?”
Ding ding ding. As at least one prominent VC guy on the net (dang, where's that link!?) has noted that “Web 2.0! Web 2.0!” makes for a really crappy elevator pitch. Why? Well, Chris, your entry title summed it *perfectly*! “'Web 2.0' Doesn't Mean Anything Yet.” Bingo.
