[edit] Web2.1

Possible original research, only cite is a vague reference to Crossing the Chasm. Also Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Ilmari Karonen 23:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete this actually reads as a subtle hoax. Marskell 00:23, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Google on article title shows results that are either totally unrelated to the content of the page, or amateur speculation. -Joshuapaquin 01:33, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep You guys have gotta be kidding me, this guy goes and starts a counter conference for folks that can't afford to get their startups into Web2.0, get's linked from a whole bunch of well respected industry sites, gains a following, and you want to delete him?

• Delete The web 2.1 concept is interesting, and the conference is a great idea, but Wikipedia is not the place for proposals or speculation. This entry reads like a manifesto, not an encyclopedic article. If/when Web 2.1 becomes a generally accepted term, there will be a place for defining it in Wikipedia.

• Keep Without a widely accepted definition of what Web 2.0 was/is, that entry has existed quite a long time. I think the 65 or so people who will be attending the event and the sponsors who have put up thousands of dollars might think this was worthwhile of an entry. It allows for the domain experts to create a definitive place for the material on this subject matter. It may one day read that this was an idea whose time was soon eclipsed by Web 3.0, but for now it is the center of the discussion on what is next. Who decides when it becomes a generally accepted term? What level of domain expertise do those who want it deleted have in this area?

• Keep Web 2.1 is about people. It's a clearly distinct term from Web 2.0 which is primarily about technology and the tools that enable greater user control of content. Web 2.1 is the essential conversation that takes the tools the geeks of the world produce and makes them accessable to ordinary people, to let your grandmother enjoy the same ability to participate in this user-enabled world as her geek granddaughter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.10.38.190 (talk • contribs) 05:16, 8 October 2005 (UTC).
