From Web page to Web platform: Web 2.0

It really is amazing how quickly the internet is developing. This article was published in 2005, and although many of the innovations it mentions are still growing, a lot of it seems like old news. I had never heard of any of the mentioned "mash-up" sites, and I wonder if that is due to short-lived popularity. I wonder if these sites are even still around. This article really emphasizes the point that web-sites designers, programmers and developers must constantly be evolving their usage of the web in order to avoid becoming obsolete.
