Everyone is talking about Web 2.0 (with varying definitions), but we're back to Web 0.0 (sometimes at least). ;-)
Why? Well, last Thursday some of the Dresden flickr people did meet offline. It was fun to meet them. Something was quite different to other “offline meetings” of some online community: it was not dominated by computer geeks (I don't deny being one). That's a development I most like about Web 2.0 applications like flickr. These are starting to be usable by people, who just want to use a computer, the internet, and so on without being able to program and fix it themselves . There's still some way to go, but the intentions are noticable…
I'm looking forward to the next meeting on 2005-02-11. This will be Web 0.1 then with some computer equipment and a usable WLAN hotspot. ;-)
I didn't bring along my camera but Konomu posted some pictures, though.
