He wrote on his blog (21-Aug-2006):
"During the TechCrunch party I realized why the whole Web 2.0 think bugged me. It’s all so Web 1.0. Yeah, sure, greater interaction, new technologies, VCs with more knowledge, etc.
But something really irked me. In Web 1.0 the single biggest mistake was … businesses with no business plan, no sales path, no income, etc. [...] To me, 2.0 of a product should fix the issues with 1.0 as well as adding new features. In Web 2.0 we definitely added new features… but did we solve the issues with 1.0?
I wish I could redefine Web 2.0. Screw the social stuff. Screw the AJAX. Screw grassroots marketing. Web 2.0 should be 'profitable online businesses'
