Web 2.0 lets everyone share their ideas, opinions, favorite tunes, and relationship statuses with each other. Even over-employed workers will still produce some user-generated content. But it seems to me that many of the activities, business models, and assumptions behind social media are a bit fluffy, and that fluffiness is going to be difficult to maintain in the post-bubble environment we now find ourselves in.

We all know Facebook, YouTube, etc. are not really breaking even yet. Will any famous Web 2.0 sites be able to survive? Will we expect a burst of the web 2.0 hype?
