Am I the only one who remembers the first Web 2.0 companies, before the 2.0 buzz word was around?

I'm talking about Flickr, the early Flickr, how lean and neat was that!

Can we now look forward to more creative and lean things? At least until Web 3.0 rises to drown it all in money and unoriginality, again.

I still don't know what web 2.0 means. As far as I can tell it was coined by a publisher to sell more books.

Sounds like what consultants/talking heads do to move those awful self-help, get rich quick, business books.

not to mention that Flickr was profitable, and could have actually turned into a big business on its own, and possibly into a traded company, too.
