Paul Graham explains what he thinks Web 2.0 is, and why he doesn't like the 
term. The essay is very nice and all. One thing that I'd liked there and that 
I can relate to:

<<<
My experience of writing for magazines suggests an explanation. Editors. They 
control the topics you can write about, and they can generally rewrite 
whatever you produce. The result is to damp extremes. Editing yields 95th 
percentile writing-- 95% of articles are improved by it, but 5% are dragged 
down.
>>>

In some of the articles I wrote for O'ReillyNet I felt that a lot of colour 
has been eliminated by the editing. Things like changing passive tense into 
active, or using simpler words. This is only part of the entire essay, and 
not really the conclusion, but I just wanted to mention it here.
