Web 2.0 fits nicely within that limit. Spread the hype. The normal human brain has a max memory retention limit of 10 characters. Web 2.0 fits nicely within that limit. Spread the hype.

I told her that in the 90's there was the Web boom. Then the boom became a bubble, then the bubble burst. Then there was a 4- or 5-year period of stagnation, both in technology and in the technology industry. Then things started happening again--RSS took off, companies started getting funded again, Google went public, people figured out how to do much cooler UI's in a browser, big companies started opening up online API's, and little companies started throwing parties again. That's Web 2.0. Like Josh says, call it whatever you want. But if you want me to understand what you're talking about, just say "Web 2.0". (Include the quotes if you want to emphasize the fact that you're not drinking the kool-aid.) My wife asked me yesterday what “Web 2.0″ means. I told her that in the 90′s there was the Web boom.

I am sick of people claiming that the term "Web 2.0" is a fad, because the technology has been around longer than the term has. "Web 2.0" stands for a long list of developments on the internet that change the way we think of the web, use the web, and sell the web. Ditto.
