I've been vaguely following this discussion and thought I would step in here.
Web 2.0 IS a buzzword that means to do nothing more than to imply the "next step" of the web as a communications medium. You could replace the term with "new and improved". It has been coined to describe the phenomina of web applications such as Myspace, Facebook, Flikr, Wikipedia; any web application that enables the democratization and mass interaction of web-based information regardless of its background programming language. World of Warcraft and now the XBox 360 could be lumped in there too.
