As described in Richard McManus’s post on Zdnet a flurry of new online applications are being developed – literally – as we speak. They are one of the occurrences of so-called WEB 2.0<\/a>. Of course, one could sneer at that new buzz-word which mainly seems to be filling the gap for a nameless all-encompassing concept. Last week, I heard erstwhile O’Reilly CTO Jon Orwant<\/a> (now a Director of Research for the FTR&D Boston lab) rightfully point out: “What was wrong with Web 1.0 that one had to rebrand it Web 2.0; wasn’t it working properly?” he said in essence. After all, WEB 2.0 is the umpteenth buzzword and fad that we have been able to witness in the IT industry in the past 20 years. Each time a new buzzword is created, there are hopes – on one side – that things are going to get better for ever, and fears – on the other side – that this is the end of the world as we know it. Taking a bit of hindsight can prove useful, particularly in this context. Having said that, one should pay a lot of attention to the following developments, which are putting ASP (Application Software<\/a> Providers I mean, not Microsoft’s<\/a> ‘active server pages’) back on the IT agenda. Not all these applications are Ajax-based. But this new development method (this is not really a language as explained by Garrett, see following link) is setting the pace for an increaslingly fast-changing world.
