Thank you so much for sharing Tonganoxie Public Library with us. I'm going to highlight it at our next staff meeting. It's amazing that this comes from a community of 3500.

O'Reilly's essay What is Web 2.0? actually does a good job of outlining most of the key components of Web 2.0. It is available here:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html
O'Reilly begins by explaining:
"The concept of "Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O'Reilly VP, noted that far from having "crashed", the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. What's more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have some things in common. Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the web, such that a call to action such as "Web 2.0" might make sense? We agreed that it did, and so the Web 2.0 Conference was born."
In Chapter 2 of my Master's paper, I try to narrow Web 2.0 down to a more managable list of principles. You can download my Master's Paper (on Academic Library 2.0) here:
http://hdl.handle.net/1901/356
The principles I outline are:
THE READ/WRITE WEB
THE WEB AS PLATFORM
THE LONG TAIL
HARNESSING COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE
NETWORK EFFECTS
CORE DATASETS FROM USER
LIGHTWEIGHT PROGRAMMING MODELS

It surely can be. Can you point to some particularly egregious examples of the mis-use?
