Preface
During the year 2006, everything seemed to have come out in Version 2, Release 0 (commonly abbreviated as “2.0”): The IEEE Spectrum journal reported on Silicon Valley 2.0 (beta) in its August 2006 issue, German tech news ticker heise.de stated in September that “technology keeps the Family 2.0 together,” the Australian edition of the T3 tech magazine described Gadgets 2.0 in its October 2006 issue, the San Jose Mercury News had a story on India 2.0 in early December. There are many other such examples, including Pub 2.0, Jobs 2.0, Health 2.0, Entertainment 2.0, Business 2.0, or Music 2.0. All of this can be traced back to O’Reilly Media, where the term was coined in late 2004. As can be read at www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html ...
