Some say, it's making web content more personalize.
Others say it's about sharing documents in a better way.
What is it really?

It's a load of bull, produced by the speaker so that they might be more likely to get hired by clueless jerks with money.

Fictional.
Wouldn't it be nice to pin one explicit definition on Web 2.0 before we move on to 3.0?

Well, finally a decent explanation of web 2.0, seriously that's the best one I have heard yet.

It may be the evolution of flash/silverlight. Google has apparently figured out how to index flash files (if the wording is text-based) so if technology continues to move to accommodate browser-based application frameworks, I believe it could easily become web 3.0. There are a ton of quarks and standards that need to be worked out first though.
Keep in mind though, web 2.0 is just a fancy catch phrase like AJAX. The technologies behind both existed before the name was slapped on to pretty them up.

It's the definition provided by whichever industry pundit wins. Too many of them lost out on the opportunity to be Authoritative about Web 2.0.
I'm sure some are already putting out definitions for Web 4.0.

Wikipedia has what could be the definitive definition, free of speculation about marketing and other conspiracies.

haha, i agreed that's it's just another highly hyped marketing ploy. but i've read somewhere in the past it has something to do with semantic web. Which in theory should allow machine to talk to machine directly with more shared terminology, etc.
Kind of like a gigantic web service where systems can interact with each other better. the given example was that you type in vacation spain and the search engine will automatically call other system which have these tags and auto linked them to provide you other stuff such as air travel, hotels, tourist spots etc.
Some sort of a Google on steroid...i think :P
