Tim Berners-Lee
“Web 1.0 was all about connecting people. It
was an interactive space, and I think Web 2.0
is of course a piece of jargon, nobody even
knows what it means. If Web 2.0 for you is
blogs and wikis, then that is people to people.
But that was what the Web was supposed to
be all along. And in fact, you know, this 'Web
2.0,' it means using the standards which have
been produced by all these people working
on Web 1.0."

Alex Halavais, an assistant professor of communication at the University at
Buffalo and an active blogger, decided to put Wikipedia to the test—by
inserting 13 errors into various entries. One error asserted that abolitionist
Frederick Douglass had once lived in Syracuse, and another "fooled with the
Periodic Table," says Halavais. Within two and a half hours, site visitors had
corrected all the errors.
