Meet the Press already has the podcast of this week's show up. (Pretty good show, the featured guest was Bill Clinton.)

Kendall Clark: "There is considerable overlap between the Web, Web 2.0, and the Semantic Web."

The Web is real. The Semantic Web is an idea and Web 2.0 is a marketing concept used by venture capitalists and conference promoters to try to call another bubble into existence.

The hype is treating "Web 2.0" as more and more real, and the hypesters are getting further and further out on a limb.

Web 2.0 is P2P, only worse. P2P at least referred to something identifiable, even if its P2P-ness wasn't the point.
