Kleiner Perkins ain’t investing in Web 2.0. Instead, they’re goin’ back to basics and investing in Web 0.2.

SiliconValleyWatcher has the details, but Randy Komisar said it himself: “We have absolutely no interest in funding Web 2.0 companies.”

Not willing to take them at their word, I took a stroll through their portfolio. One company that stood out is called “Pinger,” which enables “people to communicate with their voice in new and remarkably convenient ways.” Notice the spelling of the company. If this were a web 2.0 company, it would be called Pingr and it would be in beta.

A different portfolio company, Aggregate Knowledge, doesn’t get off so easy. They’re described as definitively web 2.0: “Unlike enterprise software that takes months to deploy, Aggregate Knowledge is a real-time Web 2.0 service that deploys in days and offers customers a performance-based pricing model.”

If people stop investing in web 2.0, what the hell am I going to write about?!!?
