First, my bias.  I am in a start up right now using web 2.0 technologies to empower and enable.  In this start up while I am heavily involved in the programming side, I am also involved in the business side. While <a href="http://itsmejulia.com/">Julia Allison</a> may have spent the last 8 months touring web 2.0 conferences, she is no closer  today of understanding web 2.0 with a statement of "our venture is an internet version of view".

And to really embrass her I am goingto put it in party terms, hers.Picture in your mind the perfect party.  Food, drink, and interesting people.Parties like the web 2.0 internet are not spectator sports as they are interactive.

In any party you can enter into direct and indirect communication ebbing and flowing throughout the night that is different for each participant.  They pick what direct conversations that they want to participate in and choose what conversations they want to passively listen to in that party. Web 2.0 is that combinationn of drinks, food and quality people that enable internet users to empower their own lives with what they want when they want it in any combination they want or the next combination that they dream of at any moment.

 Any person that states that they are making an internet version of any old medium such as TV, print, or etc has no clue whatsoever and its that knee-jerk clueless statement that VCs look for to say no to,  not at first but when there is distance past the frist meeting it comes through loud and clear. You keep whining that you are being picked on, well grow up a little and stop taking shortcuts and actually do the work o funderstnading a cocnept before using it.
