Hi Alex,

Well said. I don't think we need to disown the term "web 2.0", we just need to make sure it is used in the right context - you can't just add web 2.0 to your business plan and claim an instant success. So it's ok to be critical of these aspects, and you can still talk about a bubble while remaining optimistic about the bigger picture.
