Hey, let’s take a couple of worn out words and stick ‘em together. (Ok, found 21800 hits on Google for “Change 2.0″… But who cares, that’s kind of the beauty of the Internet…)

Let me give you my definitions of the words change and 2.0:

Change: Defines the moment when something seize to exist in its current form and enters a new, or previous (i.e. “change back”), form.

2.0: Basically this would just mean second version of something. But the symbolic value of the 2.0 version number is beginning to take over that definition, and would rather mean “by sharing” or “by socialicing”; simply “by collaborating”.

Change 2.0 = A new reality by collaboration.

Web 2.0 is old news. More interesting is the new Obamaian model Government 2.0.

Well, with that said… What do I want to say, really… ? Hm…

Don’t know. I just think that what’s going on in the big white house over there, and the growing movement for citizen governance is of greater historical dimensions then we actually realize. I am very happy and a bit proud to have been following the process closely since before Obama was even an official candidate.

I’m really looking forward to USA 2.0.
