Web 1.0 was all about connecting people. It was an interactive space, and I think Web 2.0 is of course a piece of jargon, nobody even knows what it means. If Web 2.0 for you is blogs and wikis, then that is people to people. But that was what the Web was supposed to be all along.

— Tim Berners-Lee

The Web does not just connect machines, it connects people.

Weaving the Web (1999)

We’ve lost a fighter. We’ve lost somebody who put huge energy into righting wrongs.
