It seems to me that 2.0 is a way for everyone to have input to the Web; how very democratic...I have a few misgivings. It may actually become harder to distinguish valid viewpoints from blather. I hope this works as it is supposed to, but unintended consequences can be grave. Ask whales about sonar. Fabulous tool, but it interferes so badly with the elegant, supremely adequate and delicate communication mechanisms embodied in this magnificent organism that the technnology is incompatible with the whales' very lives.
I would not make a direct analogy--of course I don't think 2.0 is a killer! However, i do know that lots and lots and lots of input and distraction and invitation to communicate with unknowns make me cross and less inclined to follow a research or story line--not more. Perhaps I am needing to go on with this and become more familiar and less wary.
