What do you foresee as Blogging 2.0?

actually, blogging is 2.0 – so there is no real more growth to the whole issue. 
Yet, if you’re referring to the direction blogging is going to take, then I would say that we’re going to move more and more towards blogging becoming something exceptionally social with a lot of content contributors on few niche platforms, which will then become pretty famous. 
But unfortunatly, my glass ball is broken, so these were just my 2 cents ;)  

What is Web 2.0?

web 2.0 defines a variety of things which have taken place since the first user contributed content wave came up in the early 21st century. 
First of all it defines a certain design “standard” which really hasn’t been defined but refers to the rounded edges, light, and easy to use navigation, AJAX elements (which came a bit later) 
Then we have the primary factor which was the user generated content. THIS is what really defines Web 2.0 because of the interaction and mass collaboration aspects of it. 
The age of web 2.0 was made possible by the spreading of broadband internet access which allowed people to contribute content on a regular basis. And also make things like podcasts (also Web 2.0 tool) and video streaming really comfortable and affordable to people from around the globe. 
Further more, we have aspects that are secondary but still define the standard a tad. 
I think that before we can define Web 3.0 we should focus on making the social networks and mass collaboration platforms more comfortable in usage as well as content synchronization and focus upon creating niche networks because the primary ones are becoming too big as for content to flurish there. Above that, making Web 2.0/Enterprise 2.0 available in companies who would really profit from mass collaboration, knowledge management, etc.
