I found this image on Flickr a while ago. It's a mind map of what web 2.0 is supposed to look like. I'm very interested in one of the elements (bubbles? tags?) in particular. Over on the far left, an element describes web 2.0 as "an attitude, not a technology." I'm interested in how well, in one way, that defines how we use language for the web.
Do we view the internet as a technology or a mindset? What might the implications of those two outlooks be? Do they change at all between a "traditional" website (a use of language that's only a few years old...) and web 2.0?
Which of the elements interest you? In light of our discussions in class and in this post, which has meaning to you?
UPDATE: I just realized that the mindmap image also appears on the O'Reilly blog, which kind of makes sense in light of this post about Web 2.0.
