I see web 2.0, as the progression of web sites into interoperable services or platforms. There platforms enable users to build the web, in ever increasingly semantic ways, with ever more connections and collaboration (enabled by interoperability standards and the like). The next web movement, the semantic web (ontologies and so forth) will be enabled and fueled by humans, much like UCG did for user content (Computers sometimes have a hard time figuring out semantics of information, but humans can do it quickly, and reasonably effectively)
For instance, a smart way to build yabb could have been to have a web services layer (which the yabb.com web UI would plug into). That way, the website itself could have been built off of these services. (You become your APIs first customer).
