"Jason over at the 37Signals blog has posted on the Top 10 Things That Aren't Web 2.0, among them Ajax and RSS:\n\n\"There\u2019s a lot of smart people asking \u2018What is Web 2.0?\u2019.I\u2019ll tell you what it isn\u2019t.\n1. Ajax, RSS, etc   2. Feature lists   3. VC funding   4. Hiring, hiring, and more hiring   5. \u201CStealth mode\u201D   6. Public betas   7. \u201CProprietary\u201D formats   8. \u201CRevolutionary\u201D anything   9. Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft  10. Boards of directors  11. Selfishness\nI couldn\u2019t help myself, I had to go up to 11. I would have added \u201CMore, more, more\u201D as #12, but I figured it would have been a bit contradictory.\"\n\nThe comments are getting very heated and seem highly critical of the Web 2.0 meme, claiming that it's merely a buzzword.  Personally, I think labels are very useful, even if they're not concise.  And there's definitely some irony in a Web 2.0 company claiming that Web 2.0 is a useless meme.  Just look at this quote from the 37Signals homepage (it has just been removed, after a commenter pointed it out):\n\u201CDEVELOPERS: Check out Ruby on Rails, the web app framework we developed that\u2019s igniting the Web 2.0 revolution.\u201D"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
