What are you going to say is the definition of web 2.0? Social style sites? The one I see as really having some social aspect to it is pornusers.com. People really are writing back and adding some value to the site. What else would be considered web 2.0?
Blogs are web 2.0... I would say a lot of them are doing quite well.
One thing I keep thinking of and right now I don't have the answer, but I think having some type of robust api or some type of small standard first put out there for general interactoin with affiliate programs. Rather than having to even go into an affiliate area... maybe you could pull some amazing xml page/feed that would contain all the information about sites, etc. in it.
(I'm totally brainstorming now)...
But you would be able to then parse that data and in real time either update your databases so you could aggregate that data. Every which way. So would be like mega RSS feeds. But not just blog posts.
example:
If you ran a TGP since it was a standard now the TGP software you would just have to plug in the url of your xml feed(s) and it would know when a new gallery had been posted and it could insert that into the tgp database, or for link lists would know to insert it in. Or at least pull it in and wait for the webmaster approval, or a rethumb, but things really could become more automatted.
Basically saying things could really be taken a step further in automation. Heck have a news part of the feed as well so you could have a dashboard type application that would even have what was contained in the updates, or messages about the fact that promos are happening, etc.
slkdfjslkdfj msg has gotten too long.. most people if you made it this far... i don't know if I even made sense or am on topic.
