So I found some pretty interesting articles/video that talked about Web 2.0. After reading/watching all the articles I believe I have a good grasp on the term.
The first site I came across was by Paul Graham, it is more negative about Web 2.0 but really gets the point across. It puts it in scenarios you can understand. It also gives quite a bit of information on google.
The second is by Tim O’ Reilly this article is a great source of information because it breaks things down for you with charts and even a meme map. Another great thing about this article is that it gives you pros and cons between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Also on page 3 of the article it goes into detail about RSS which was helpful for me because I didn’t quite get it at first. He also gives a lot of references to find out more information on Web 2.0 which is nice.
I am still searching for a third article, but will post as soon as I find one that I really like.
Overall I feel I have received many different points of view on Web 2.0. With this I have come to my own conclusion that it is exciting, but at the same time scary due to privacy and security concerns.
I am sorry my articles are late!

Heather, your comment on security led me to this site which talks about some pretty crazy stuff. There seems to be more ways than I know to get ripped off.
I really like your layout and the way you put your blog together. How did you put the links into your paragraphs as oppose to just leaving a link for them?
