Judging by the speed of my streamyx and the state of most of the government and company websites in Malaysia, I'd say we are still stuck in Web0.3 BETA.

Jeff,

In a nutshell, what is CCM?
Another MSC (or is it MeDC now?) initiative?
We can all remember the past MSC failures only too vividly...

JEFF OOI says: Half is either half-empty or half-full, depending on how one looks at it. Some take failures as the son of more failures, while others regard failures as the mother of success. Personally, I would rather do things from the positive angle and not be bogged down from the depressing negativity.

For those refuse to do google and wikipedia search, check ">here for creative commons(CC) .

Just wondering, what has this got to do with web 2.0? If it has something to do about Creative Commons, web 2.0 isn't just about that, IMO.

And yes, I somewhat agree with Shaolin Tiger, most Malaysian web technology companies are as far away from '2.0' as they can be. Don't even mention government sites.

JEFF OOI says: If Malaysia isn't in Web2.0, whihc is largely true, let's roll up ur sleeves and give it a big push. I, on my part as a small Malaysian, can only do in a small way, in local content development. You guys should do far better.

Web 2.0's a tech buzzword and all hype. What Malaysian websites need is CONTENT.

If Malaysia isn't in Web2.0, which is largely true, let's roll up ur sleeves and give it a big push.

Web 2.0 isn't a country or a place. Web 2.0 is a vague definition or a set of concepts and technologies that make websites more interactive and user-driven. That said, Malaysia nor any other country will never "be Web 2.0".

JEFF OOI says: I hope you guys start sharing meaningful thoughts about Tim O'Reilley's Web2.0 concept. But I don't it's all about websites.

Throwing around the latest buzzword only makes worse what's already bad. We might as well call the next Proton car the Proton Web 2.0.

Kris, I believe Jeff said web 2.0 IN Malaysia, e.g. the adoption of web 2.0 concepts and technologies by Malaysian I.T companies.

Jeff, yes, let's roll our sleeves and dive into this web 2.0 (hype or no hype). Here's my take on pushing web 2.0 in Malaysia, a blog post I wrote a while ago: The Web 2.0 Guide for Malaysian Web/I.T. Startups.

JEFF OOI says: Thanks Brother for sharing your thoughts. I reckon we Malaysians should find our relevance when the world wanted to move forward, we shouldn't be left stranded.

To be honest, and I'm not trying to sound like a jerk but our web industry is not even up to web 1.0 standards yet. Most of our government and corporate sites are table-based, heavy flash-driven and focus on accessibility and usability design is almost non-existence.

Web 2.0, in a way, is about taking off where 1.0 stopped - taking those semantical markups and web standards technologies and turns them into something friendlier and more interactive when communicating with web users.

We need to learn the fundamentals and start doing things 'the right way' first.
