[...] That said, there are some interesting weblogs out there regarding ’social software’ even though their critique may be a little raw. Many folks are working towards getting at the heart of the Web 2.0 revolution. I agree that visualizations such as Tim O’Reilly’s or Dion Hinchcliffe’s are not simple enough — they’re too jargon-filled and don’t do much to describe the big picture in human-readable terms.
