Well, yeah. First comes the art, then comes the porn, then comes the rest of commerce.
Every medium is like this, except video games which seem to be working in reverse order.

Web 2.0 is the Internet, and Web 1.0 was Spud Webb, right?
Because if so, I agree wholeheartedly.

web 1.0 was all about the engineering (to me, one of the highest of art forms).
i don't know if i'd say that the motives were pure, but there definitely was the idea of being a pioneer of sorts. i mean, maybe we all weren't going to be the next vint cerf, but there was definitely a palpable feeling of being on the cusp of something revolutionary.

I can't wait till my kids tell me about web 5.0 and laugh at the fact that I used a mouse while they sit in their Windows Siesta run recliners and have the internet jacked into their brain stems.

web 1.0 was amazing. it was a good feeling the first time i realised i could make a better website than 90% of people out there. and if you wanted a blog, you made it yourself. WE DIDN'T EVEN CALL THEM BLOGS. god, i hate that word a lot. now, like everything else in the world, it's too accessible. when no skill or intelligence is required to "create" -- i use the term loosely -- everyone who shouldn't, does.

@ethan: Elitist! ELITIST!
I kid.
When I think of web 1.0 I think of homemade webpages with horrible blinking backgrounds.

@erica: I directly associate those pages with FrontPage, Geocities, and Angelfire.

i can't even tell the difference between Web 2.0 and the good ol' fashioned version

i think web 1.0 had better memes, like "hello my future girlfriend"

I disagree. I was at Adobe during Web 1.0 and it nearly ruined the company. They kept aquiring useless companies with some pile-o-steamin-crap product.

Also, you were only 9 or 10 during Web 1.0! (Ben) What would you know?

I'm still in web 1.0
Here is a link to my Flash 4 video encouraging blogging, hosted on geocities.

Web 1.0 was invented to allow physicists to share research papers.
Web 2.0 was created to allow people to share pictures of cute cats.

The motivations were so much more pure.
