It is becoming increasingly difficult to explain what Web 2.0 really means, and that fact is reflected in the definition of the term on Wikipedia, which includes the use of ‘weasel words’. AdAge is reporting that the phrase ‘web 2.0’ is the most popular Wikipedia Entry of 2006. But if you still don’t know what the term means, you are not alone.
In a fitting marriage of context and content, “Web 2.0” was the No. 1 most-cited Wikipedia entry of the year, according to Nielsen BuzzMetrics. The oft-repeated buzz word handily beat out other tech terms such as “blog,” “Meme” and two conjugations of “Podcast” for the coveted top spot.
The other new-media-related entries that were included in the top 10 were Blog, AJAX, Wiki and RSS.
