In researching for the book, I looked up 'neography' which has a difference meaning. From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neography" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>: <blockquote>A constructed script (also artificial script, neography) is a new writing system specifically created by an individual or group, rather than having evolved as part of a language or culture like a natural script.</blockquote> Therefore, "Neogeography" is actually a better term, since it is "new-geography". Or perhaps, NeoCartography or NeoGIS? At least that's better than "Mapping 2.0". :) Actually, based on Caitlin’s article here on my new book, Introduction to Neogeography, I was rethinking my own comment on “Neography”.

From Wikipedia:

A constructed script (also artificial script, neography) is a new writing system specifically created by an individual or group, rather than having evolved as part of a language or culture like a natural script.

Therefore, “Neogeography” is actually a better term, since it is “new-geography”. Or perhaps, NeoCartography or NeoGIS? At least that’s better than “Mapping 2.0″. :)
