POPSDave Winer responds to Mike Arrington's criticism... Here's the story in a nutshell. Dave Winer, Russell Shaw and Richard MacManus wrote blog posts about Web 2.0 basically being a lot of hype. Mike Arrington, Mr Web 2.0 himself, then wrote a blog post ripping into them for it. The content above is Dave Winer's response...i hope this debate continues as i personally find the "web 2.0" movement to be moving in the wrong direction and becoming more about hype and fraternity than anything. Would love to know what others think.

POPSJohn Battelle on Google becoming omni-powerful A very interesting comparrison (and perhaps prediction) by Battelle that Google's perception may become a major liability for them. From the conversations i've had with people about Google, i'd say the two most common words used to describe them are "impressive" and "scary".

POPSFrom John Battelle's editorial in today's Mercury News I recommend reading the entire editorial. Some interesting thoughts about all the data that search engines are/will gather about us as we use their services. A number of these points are further explored in John's book The Search. If you find this editorial interesting, i recommend that you read the book.
