Web2.0 Again

My Research Portfolio Statetement

My research portfolio was actually going to be on Web2.0 but as I looked into the concept more I liked it less and less. Web2.0 seems hollow and empty, nothing but a buzz word designed to generate excitement over a few good concepts. AJAX, and social networking, and all such are good concepts but when they become overhyped and overused then it doesn't work as well.
For every web entrepreneur to just throw up a site bandying about the concepts of Web2.0, AJAX, Social Networking, and Tagging, doesn't turn their site into a good site. That said, there are great sites made with these ideas, and there have been great applications that I do use every day.

Nothing against Web2.0, but it is quickly turning into another web bubble.
