 * TECHSPO 2007 - Integration 2..0 with Web 2.0**

From: http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2005/08/not_20.html More immediately, //**Web 2.0 is the era when people have come to realize that it's not the software that enables the web that matters so much as the services that are delivered over the web**//. Web 1.0 was the era when people could think that Netscape (a software company) was the contender for the computer industry crown; Web 2.0 is the era when people are recognizing that leadership in the computer industry has passed from traditional software companies to a new kind of internet service company. **//The net has replaced the PC as the platform that matters, just as the PC replaced the mainframe and minicomputer.
