I am enjoying the expression, the connection, and the education it entails though. However, obviously, as a fairly recent blogger and definitely new to this boom I suppose, this post is enlightening. It gave me a lot of new perspective and understanding. Thanks. I remain dizzy amidst all these references to 2.0, I should be honest.

That’s why we call them web 2.0. And medicine 2.0 is medicine 2.0 because medical web geekery doesn’t sound too professional, moreover it’s not easy to always refer to web 2.0 and medicine, so a shorter form was needed. Anyway, I don’t think these new names have any kind of importance.

I want users (whether librarians, library patrons, clinicians or patients) to be able to separate meaningful information from hype. For that to happen, people who write about these technologies for these groups will need to consider using such terms more carefully and selectively.

But as much as you might, I don't think you going to stop wide use of this terminology since there's just too much money being thrown at it - and if you can't beat them... (but in respect of your opinion, I did just remove such a reference to the term 2.0 from MedWorm! My blog, however, will continue to ride on this bandwagon, since I quite like its pace).
