Defining Web 2.0

Web 2.0 defined by Tim O’Reilly:

the design of systems that harness network effects to get better the more people use them.

In a nutshell that is Web 2.0 for me too. It isn’t Ajax powered UIs and Flash video on YouTube. Those are important enablers for Web 2.0, they get people to use systems which harness the network effect and make the system better.

The book, Programming Collective Intelligence, that started the Radar post looks good too.
