# Two-Way Web joins Web 2.0 Workgroup – spicy noodles celebration follows

The [Web 2.0 Workgroup](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508062121/http://web20workgroup.com/) has [expanded](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508062121/http://www.techcrunch.com/2005/10/12/web-20-workgroup-expands/) to 4 blogs (and more to come!), with the addition of Dave Winer’s [Two-Way Web blog](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508062121/http://www.thetwowayweb.com/2005/10/12#a2075). This is awesome news, because the Two-Way Web site was a defining influence on me when I first started blogging.

Dave was around at the TechCrunch house later in the day and then we all went out for spicy noodles, a famous [Scripting News](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508062121/http://www.scripting.com/) dinner. And boy were those spicy noodles nice! My Silicon Valley initiation is now complete 🙂 Here’s a picture of all the Web 2.0 Workgroup members, plus Gabe from [memeorandum](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508062121/http://tech.memeorandum.com/), at Jing Jing:
