Yes, the Web 2.0 carry-on is starting to get people all excited about making squillions of dollars again. Just three weeks ago someone paid US$115,000 for the domain name — yes, just for the name — refresh.com, which looks like it’s trying to clone MySpace’s success. A shame they didn’t spend a quarter of that on design — though MySpace does just fine while looking pig-ugly.
All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris.

When, exactly, did ‘Web 2.0′ happen? I’m not up on these cybercliches, but it sounds like evolution rather than revolution to me. Did a journo wake up one morning and find they had to install another plugin?
