"The label 2.0 has become so overused that it is now a tic, a reflex action, a device that gets trotted out because someone thinks it sounds both hip and techie. And it did — for a while. Now it’s tired."

-Steve Fox, "Too Tired of 2.0", InfoWorld, June 26, 2006

 
Two quick comments I would like to make about this week's quote.

1. If 2.0 sounds techie but is not techie, what is? Oh how about 0.4.8 or 0.3. alpha2. It may not sound hip, but it is techie. Techies obviously see a difference between 0.4.7 and 0.4.9. And what happens when we get to 0.5.0? In the software development world that's a paradigm shift.
    
   
2. By now you should realize that the "quote of the week" doesn't have to be from this week. It can take me weeks to catch up on all my trade journals.
