The reasons I bring this up – this post by Marc, this article in The New York Times, and yesterday someone showed me a little Xeroxed flyer from an angel investor who was handing it out to entrepreneurs looking for funding at a vertical search conference. Yahoo’s My Web 2.0 by Caterina!

  • Flash? How about Applets. I don’t think Flash had the same presence as Ajax until 1998-99. (but I could be wrong).

    But I think we have come a long way. It is not that the end results have changed so drastically, it is that so many more people are able to participate now. My mother has a Flickr account ;)
