This isn’t to say the writing has no value –quite the contrary. My problem is in the presentation." Ouch! But feedback gratefully accepted. Actually as Josh pointed out in this post, we both will be trying to write more in-depth, analytical posts on our respective blogs - on Web 2.0 theory, ideas, themes, etc. This is actually the style of writing that I started out doing on my blog R/WW, but you're right to point out that over the past 6-9 months I've drank the Web 2.0 kool aid - and my blogging over that time reflects that. In my defence though, I'll point out that I started writing about Web 2.0 well before it got super-hyped - and the reason my blog is so popular right now is because I have introduced this topic to many different types of people. That was a deliberate choice, because I think Web 2.0 is much more than just developers, designers, social scientists - it affects everyone from teachers to librarians to media to... But really, you've articulated the things that I myself have concluded about my blog (except for the aging hipster bit!). Expect to see more in-depth and analytical posts on R/WW in the coming months, as Josh and I work on our book.

Right now, we're too early in the life of W2, but soon, we'll have "bubble 2.0", "aeron chair 2.0", "cubicle nerf fights 2.0", etc. From my eagle eye (heh), this is history repeating itself, and as the technology has matured, the cycle will be faster. Luckily, we'll still get some good stuff out of it. Looking forward to the book. It should be interesting. Please however, try to avoid drinking your own kool-aid. The idea of using existing technologies in new and innovative ways (W2 philosophy) is commendable, and I am fascinated by the applications that have so far come of it.

This isn't to say the writing has no value –quite the contrary. My problem is in the presentation. An entire book in that style would be unreadable. Of course, on a weblog, you don't have editors. Much luck, and I hope we get to see snippets of the product from time to time, à la Edward Tufte. I think perhaps the problem that everyone sees in “Web 2.0″ is the eventuality that was “Web 1.0″.

I am really happy to hear about this. I think the two of you will do a fantastic book, based on the writing that you've already done about it. Will an audience of the book be the new hybrid class of users-qua-developers who have dreams of applications built from open data and low-friction API's? (I hope so!). Some sample apps, etc. That would be great! Looking forward to the chapters! Congrats Josh! I am really happy to hear about this.
