Web 2.0 dying is sort of like disco dying. Sure there isn't going to be any real new disco, but at the time time did it ever really die or just turn into house and techno?
Web 2.0 itself may be gone, but its contributions will remain.
What a silly conclusion. Web 2.0 is so successful that it has become synonymous with Web. When people think of web, do they still think of old, mostly 'read only' apps, or do they think of new, social and user participatory apps?
If you take a look at the charts of top visited web sites, you'll see that the answer to that question is quite clear and that the Web 2.0 has conquered the Web.
Now, the fact that a trademarked search term 'web 2.0' is losing its steam is O'Reilly Media's problem since that's their property. You could say that Tim O'Reilly has been pushing it so hard that he was too successful at it.
He pushed it too hard and didn't realize that by the time it gained traction, the term would be out of vogue. I mean, at least when Pat Riley trademarked three-peat, that could happen again. There won't be another Web 2.0 after this iceberg melts.

I can drink to that.
