Who invented the web?
Saturday, March 03, 2007 by Dave Winer.
On a flight from SFO to Boston the person in the next seat thought Tim O'Reilly is the inventor of the web. I was surprised to hear that, but if you think about it, the hype sort of says that. 
He claims to have coined the phrase Web 2.0™ (often summarized as "invented" in the press and on blogs) and I guess it's logical to assume that the inventor of the 2.0 version of something is the inventor of the thing itself.
I explained that he is actually something other than the inventor of the web, what exactly that is, I'll leave up to others to say.
BTW, interesting to see what comes up on a search for invent "web 2.0".
