Sir Tim Berners-Lee created the web in 1991. He regards Web 2.0 as pretty basic and part of the evolution he expected, that the web would be two way and provide for user generated content. 

 …  but he is more excited by other things

Although he is somewhat sceptical of the hype around Web 2.0, Sir Tim is excited by three other areas of the web’s development:

1. its spread to millions of new users via mobile devices,
2. the growing interest in the technology’s social and political impact and
3. the semantic web, in which information is labelled so that it makes sense to machines as well as people.
