How does this fit in with Web 2.0?
This goes beyond Web 2.0. What we're doing here is Web 2.0 x Web 2.0 = Web 4.0.

We prefer to call it web 2.02. The maps mashup maps mashup title follows in a tradition
of self-referential or recursive acronym titles such as

We hunt down the maps mashups on the web using our unique Web 2.02 technology called Scourer.
