But please Mike, do not feed the trolls

Seriously though, if Lessigs’ example of Web 2.0 companies is bad, that what do you call Carr’s list of MySpace, Facebook, Craigslist, Digg and Google Web Search??

Even if you give him MySpace and Facebook (though they are borderline IMHO), Craigslist and Google Web Search are certainly not Web 2.0 (since bulletin boards and search engines have been around for over a decade).

And Digg? The one site he lists that is indisputably Web 2.0 does indeed have a CC-PD license on all user content. We’d therefore have to score that one in the Lessig column. Way to do your homework Carr.

Neither side has come across looking particularly good on this one I’m afraid.
