You have probably lived under a rock these days. This is the way the 
world is moving. If something can be made Web 2.0 compatible, it is also 
what will happen. A new platform might come up in 201x or 202x, but 
nowadays the best we have got is Web 2.0. Ever used twitter, facebook, 
google wave (or any google's services) etc. ? Large part of the online 
enterprises have already jumped on the wagon, not only early adopters. 
Modern browsers such as opera 10, firefox 3.5, safari, and chrome already 
support the latest standards.
