Mention "Yahoo Pipes" to your resident Nerd of a Certain Age in order to elicit a wistful, faraway gaze.

@anildash Seriously. I remember when "Web 2.0" meant services with APIs and the ability to remix content and move data around using stuff like Pipes.

It's part of what's frustrating about the "Web 3.0" framing, because we actually stepped back from Web 2.0 as platforms like Facebook and Twitter et al needed to claw back their APIs to maximize profits.
