Ok. Not enthused by the "2.0" moniker (though this was published in 2008). But I am happy to see others thinking the same things as I have been. Just wished I'd seen this back then.

"Scientific American calls it science2.0. They write: A small but growing number of researchers (and not just the younger ones) have begun to carry out their work via the wide-open tools of Web 2.0. And although their efforts are still too scattered to be called a movement—yet—their experiences to date suggest that this kind of Web-based “Science 2.0” is not only more collegial than traditional science but considerably more productive."
