I think this is a beautifully expressed thought:

"… as soon as I saw 'the slow web movement,' I assigned my own meaning to it. Because it’s a great name, and great names are like knots—they’re woven from the same stringy material as other words, but in their particular arrangement, they catch, become junctions to which new threads arrive, from which other threads depart."

This really is a great phrase. Obviously the same phenomenon occurred with the term Web 2.0.

I'm having a hard time without sarcasm tags. The Web 2.0 was so vague a phrase that it had too many meanings and the end was meaningless. I doubt any new threads were woven due to the invention of that phrase.
