In response to 's question about the "greatest" Web 2.0 site, the thread collected a few showcase examples and a useful note about bandwidth from . A single flashy demo is less helpful long-term than a short, practical framework for judging Web 2.0: features that improve contribution, make data useful and portable, and keep the service usable on real networks.

  • Contribution and curation: easy creation, clear moderation, and mechanisms that surface good content (votes, filters, editorial tools).
  • API and exportability: a documented API and a way to export personal data prevent lock-in.
  • Progressive enhancement and accessibility: server-rendered HTML, meaningful semantics, and a usable no-JS fallback.
  • Performance and low-bandwidth modes: small assets, compression, lazy loading, and a text-only or minimal UI option for slow connections.
  • Social and reputation systems: follow/share/comment flows plus anti-abuse controls.
  • Real-time where it matters: live updates with graceful fallbacks to polling.
  • Discoverability and structure: tags, search, and human-readable permalinks.
  • Governance and privacy: transparent rules, reporting paths, and clear data policies.

A tiny, practical pattern for graceful enhancement (keeps content visible without JavaScript; upgrades when JS is available):

<!-- server renders a usable list -->
<ul id="items">
  <li>Server item 1</li>
  <li>Server item 2</li>
</ul>

<script>
fetch('/api/items')
  .then(r=>r.json())
  .then(data=>{
    document.getElementById('items').innerHTML =
      data.map(i=>'<li>'+i.title+'</li>').join('');
  })
  .catch(function(){/* keep server-rendered list */});
</script>

's comment about visual data-mashups and 's point about lab-style realtime experiments illustrate different strengths; 's pointer to showcases is a good source of inspiration. The most enduring "best" Web 2.0 sites combine real user benefit, exportable data, and graceful performance for all network conditions.
