          Although I’m not in any way aware or alive when that was happening back then - that “.com bubble” blast I think? - I surmise that was a real crash-and-burn phenomenon, McKinstry’s “CR6” internet show being one of its casualties, despite its significance in online emergent media history.

            Isn’t anything post dot com bubble considered Web 2.0?

            So we’re still in Web 2.0, or when was the cutoff?

            The dot com bubble was late 90s, early 2000s, tons of companies went under. Lot of jobs and VC money lost. People had to rethink how they could monetize, stop a lot of advertising scams, and what was really worth investing in that might return a profit.
