Paul Boutin: Web 2.0
Phil Jones: "Back in the 90s I found a few people who really 'got' the web; who really understood what was important, what wasn't, how it worked, how it didn't, what you could expect, what you couldn't. I'm not saying these were the only people who were smart about the web. Or that they were the originators of all the ideas. But they were the ones that I discovered, and who I knew instinctively were right, and who I shamelessly stole my ideas from.
Update: Mr. Jones posted a friendly correction in the comments. I had mistakenly credited his post to Paul Boutin. Thanks for the correction.
"For me, 'web 2.0' means one thing : vindication of those people and those ideas. Pretty much everything (good) in web 2.0 is really a playing out, in one form or another, of things those people were saying around 8-10 years ago.
"So who are they? I'm sure you're not likely to very surprised by the list. Maybe you'll be more surprised by some people I missed out on..."
