What is Web 2.0?... lucky I wasn't drinking

I'm currently waist-deep in a research programme on the potential impact of "Web 2.0" ideas on enterprises. Really fascinating stuff that should start to see the light of day in a MWD perspectives report in the next couple of months.

Apologies to those of you to whom this is old hat, but just now I ran across this graphic when reading the results of a reader survey conducted by the Register in November shortly after the O'Reilly Web 2.0 conference:

Thank goodness I wasn't drinking a coffee at the time - it would have come out of my nose. I haven't seen anything that funny in a long time. Which probably says I should get out more.

I guess if there's any kind of serious point I can take from this, it's that denizens of the US West Coast startup community looking to European (and UK in particular) businesses as prospects for their wares are going to have to work pretty damn hard ;-)
