• Comment: We have articles on eg Web 2.0 - it's a question of whether the neologism has caught on. Geoff Cohen, Senior Consultant, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Center for Business Innovation uses the term which has 15,000 Google hits. O'Reilly uses it - he's on the pulse of internet ideas having helped get Web 2.0 started (92,000,000 hits for comparison). OTOH, Google in the UK gives only 62 hits, so it seems a US phenomenon which hasn't caught on in real life away from the internet hype (ie in the UK). I would tend towards delete, but won't propose to delete a US idea just because it hasn't caught on in the UK. Stephen B Streater 21:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Possibly a year ago this term could have been considered a neologism, but not now. I will update the entry to reflect latest research and add significant references. This entry should be seen on a par with The Experience Economy and the Attention economy. Graeme Codrington 19:40, 7 July 2006
