Tim Berners-Lee Dismisses Web 2.0
From the "it's nothing new" department:
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.

Richard MacManus finds a great quotation from an interview with Tim Berners-Lee where Time points out that there isn't anything in Web 2.0 that wasn't a part of Web 1.0. He should know; he invented it.
(Although there is one important difference between then and now: Pervasive broadband. This might not be a part of the Web 2.0 "revolution" but it is a significant change that is both a cultural and an economic game-changer.)
Update: Here's a link to the original audio interview at IBM Developerworks, as well as a transcript they've provided.
