some people still think that net art does not need the net, and some 
people think that art without a market is not art (check this: 
http://www.imal.org/HolyFire/en/ )

i think that  net art needs the net, like painting needs pigments, and 
that art does not  need a market to be art.

as artists, we have to know what sense we put in words, this is also 
what define our practices. your manifesto is a good exercise on this way.

i like this idea, and work with it, but 2.0 label is a also a big 
buzzword recovering many differents points of view, and blurring sense. 
2.0 is also a kind of catch-all in order to concentrate data within 
proprietary platforms, while marketing the illusion of a global fun and 
cool real time collaboration between so many "friends"...
