I think a lot of this stems from folks who don't hand code AJAX, but find ways to use it in web apps. This leads to the "AJAX = Drag/Drap" mentality. I'm not being a snob, I don't to hand code AJAX myself. For people who are hand coders, I could see how it would severely piss them off. very insightful.

So i had to ask, "Waht makes the domain a Web 2.0 domain?" Answer: Because it's short and not spelt right or means nothing like Digg, Flickr, Squidoo etc. Right.. Ok.. I guess problems evolve just like stupid people. That’s ok, someone offered to sell me a Web 2.0 domain name the other day. So i had to ask, “Waht makes the domain a Web 2.0 domain?”

Using your example, the problem is more like someone <em>thinking</em> they know Chinese when they are actually speaking Japanese, and then telling everyone how wonderful the Chinese language is and that we should all learn it (not saying we shouldn't, but you get the idea :) The overall point is that it is the responsibility of a professional in this industry to have an understanding of the technology and terminology, and to encourage education of clients and within the field. @Mike: I think that’s an extreme view–I’m not suggesting people shouldn’t dive in and try to learn if they don’t understand what’s involved.

(See what I did right there? I didn't make any argument after your argument and I said "touché" anyway. Like that Mac ad. Crazy PCs...) I don't like using "Web 2.0" because generally it doesn't mean anything specific. It's like making up your own word and giving it meaning that is only relevant to what you're talking about. How about we just say "let's make this site more user friendly and appealing to the eye?" Touché!

I don’t like using “Web 2.0″ because generally it doesn’t mean anything specific. It’s like making up your own word and giving it meaning that is only relevant to what you’re talking about.

How about we just say “let’s make this site more user friendly and appealing to the eye?”
