I don't agree it's about technology, I've seen some really bad AJAX products albeit with slick transitions and what not. Professionally I've already heard talk of Web 4.0! Don't know what happened to 2.5 or 3 or.... I hope Nigerian developers grab hold of the positive end of all this mumbo jumbo. Light websites giving users control and privacy, with a focus on good experiences online that extend offline, let's define a new web called Web9ija!

But i later realized that the term goes beyond that. It is simply just a name for the current web trends; from AJAX, good usability, simple web apps, blogging(& micro-blogging), user-based sites, taggging/bookmarking sites etc. (I can't mention them all).
