A search on Lexis might be more valuable in terms of legal scholarship.

When judges start saying web 2.0 you know something is happening.

I can't access Lexis at the moment but I used to enjoy free access as  
a student.

I am very sceptical about this term right now as the comp sci  
conference press does not impress on the use of this term.

Internet evangelists use the term like a family member who does this  
work in the corporate world.

But I will search that press now as Mr Wellman suggests and see what  
I can find to back myself up.
