1998: Business 2.0: the most remote of a label

As is known, the ritual of labeling the successive versions of a product with the format “N.n”, comes from the world of software. In our case, the question is how this custom came to label what’s happened in recent years on the Internet: the so-called “Web 2.0″.
The fact is that we can back up an online magazine that began its life as much as in 1998 and later became part of CNNMoney.
That’s right, this year, the magazine reported domains business2.com and Business20.com (2).

This is not an accident.
The online publication chose these domains with any intent, and his header was formal Business 2.0. The philosophy that launch presidency and the name chosen to meet the expectations of a new world, also for business, raising and then internet.

It is interesting to see which adopted the numbering system software to symbolize a new economic era of the magazine, of course, meant to be a prominent speaker.

You can check for evidence that the coletilla 2.0 is not added later, consult the file of Internet sites par, www.archive.org.

This register of historic sites are preserved copies of dozens of pages of all the years of Business 2.0 until 2008.
The oldest dates back to December 1998, http://web.archive.org/web/19981212023434/http://www.business2.com/ (accessible 23.20-08) and she is aware that, above the limitations of domain names and suspicions that this may create in this case, the formal title of the magazine Business 2.0 era since 1998.

No, I did not invent the label Web 2.0. But put us on the road. And applied for the first time this way of tagging to a change in the business world linked to technological innovations. As we shall see, that happen again.

In addition, some of the future actors of this history of the term Web 2.0, published articles in this magazine … And most of them, surely, would include among its readers.
