But this was not the usual "renew or else" wrapper. They've ceased publication. Parent Time, Inc. cut the oxygen supply.
Subscribers will get one issue of the rather more mainstream and traditional Fortune for every two issues of Business 2.0 left on their subscription.
What does the implied value of the remaining issues have to say about the whole 2.0 phenomena?
Can Web 2.0 (the concept, not anyone who might have named their business with that unfortunate moniker) be far behind?
Is the replacement Web 3.0, or Web - Back to Basics?

The 2.0 is actually something which dates back to the 1960's - when companies first found out that consumers had alot of power, a few bad stories could put them out of business or rapidly make their profits go down, so today they're called communities, had to rephrase a little since people didn't liked to be treated as objects or robots who just do and do and do - had to show them some care.. the beginning of the service industry -
With regarding to the internet I was like web 3.0 in 1999 when I played my first real online game that I bought in a store, - it like had a graphical interface, and you could like talk with people, and play with them... totally fun - until the company who made the games didn't have more money and shut down. That was a sad day. They made alot of really fun games like toy soldiers fighting in a kitchen environment and alot of crazy stuff - even a whole mythology based in a medieval fantasy world where the storylines evolved through the different games... (14 games total, actually)
Then I got all web 4.0 with a website, must have been around the year 2000... then it just developed from there, think i'm at web 7.3 and update in process at the moment.
