*smashes head off desk*
I'm sorry, I missed the "Web 2.0 Browser". When did that happen?
"It's true that when Dale Dougherty of O'Reilly Media came up with the term, there was no clear definition."
And there still isn't so why now try to build on some thing that's inclear in the first place?
"In brief, the characteristics of Web 2.0 include:"
Everything we've had since before the term was coined.
"Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. He created it as an interface for the Internet and a way for people to share information with one another. Berners-Lee disputes the existence of Web 2.0, calling it nothing more than meaningless jargon "
No, don't listen to him, wtf does he know? He only invented the freaking thing. God what a tiring pile of garbage that was. Who are these so called "experts" anyway? They don't name anybody, they quote one expert who calls Web 2.0 meaningless jargon. So my question then is, who's paying howstuffworks to hype this garbage? - kmotiv1, on 05/11/2008, -3/+100Thats what I do right now.
- ndnspongebob, on 05/11/2008, -2/+79HAHAHAHA!! The Internet?!?! that will never catch on, lol good luck with that
- newstart, on 05/11/2008, -0/+65I am not buying your Web 3.0 *****. I am happy with my Web 2.0, Service Pack 2
- onionbagel724, on 05/11/2008, -1/+48"I want to pick up a local hooker and have her spread cheesewiz on my belly in front of tourists at a farmers market. What are my options?" Search Results: 8,281 pages found
- TheWorm, on 05/11/2008, -0/+35But now it will have even more gradients.
- metapop, on 05/11/2008, -2/+34and here i am using web 2.0 like a sucker. i can't wait to type full sentences into my web 3.0 browser.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -2/+25can we stop this stupid buzzword from continuing, my god
- dbarefoot, on 05/11/2008, -1/+22Will Web 3.0 have less pagination. Did that article really need eight separate pages?
- Asianwaste, on 05/11/2008, -1/+23I'm hoping one feature of web 3.0 is that they would stop calling it web + numerical version. There's only been web 2.0 and I'm already sick of that gimmicky name.
- UGM2099, on 05/11/2008, -5/+24If the internet ever becomes that ghey, I'm leaving.
- davidbond, on 05/11/2008, -2/+27Here's the problem with this article: DO YOU REALLY NOT KNOW WHERE YOUR CINEMA IS?
"Ah," I hear you cry, "but what about when I'm in another town for some reason."
What reason - you're there on business/holiday? (Ask the hotel clerk). You're there with a friend (ask them). When have you EVER been in another town and thought "I am utterly incapable of asking a local where the cinema is. I know, I'll open my mobile phone and spend 5 minutes staring at a screen."
"But, but what about the restaurant?". Ask a member of the cinema staff.
Local knowledge. Sometimes technology is not the right answer. - cdigioia, on 05/11/2008, -1/+19I could do all that from my phone...I fail to see how this is "Web 3.0", whatever that means.
- jordan314, on 05/11/2008, -0/+17Words cannot express how much I hated this article. It was written like a children's textbook with no grasp on the technology other than jargon.

- bobcrotch, on 05/11/2008, -0/+15Why use social skills when you can use the Internet!
- xBreakdownx, on 05/11/2008, -0/+14Well he wasn't lying about it not being a rick roll. Al i gotta say to that is just wow.
- kru1e, on 05/11/2008, -4/+18Web 3.0? Doubt it.
- steveoco, on 05/11/2008, -0/+14Web 2.0 = Users make the content, owners take the revenue.
- headband, on 05/11/2008, -1/+14they tried this years ago, it was called ask jeeves.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -7/+25Here is a video detailing more about this (not rick roll, I promise): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NofrlKOTaPU
- jm1234567890, on 05/11/2008, -0/+12That link is deeply disturbing
- jhandfield, on 05/11/2008, -0/+13I can make random, wild predictions too! Where do I sign up to become one of their experts?
- DigitAl56K, on 05/11/2008, -0/+12What is this "point oh" thing all about? Why not just call it "Web 3"?
Heck, why not stop attaching stupid meaningless names to something that is in a state of perpetual change?
I guess the world needs more buzzwords. - Anonymous3, on 05/11/2008, -0/+11It's more like a conglomeration of rolls
- Micktion, on 05/11/2008, -0/+11Web 2.0 was term invented by Oreilly publishing and they used the term to describe the come back of web based business models after the .COM bust of 2000. So yea. In terms of it being an actual technical term its totally meaningless. It relates to nothing technical. It does happen to coincide with the dawning of new approaches like REST services, however, that's purely conincidental.
The internet has been will continue to be a continuously evolving medium. Try to break that continous evolution into versions... like web 1.0/2.0 etc is really out of the technical domain and definitely a spin/marketing domain.
As for this article, I think it's flogging a dead horse, the whole magical personal computer assistance that does everything for you before you know you wanted to do it has been floated around since the clippy was born in Office 98. No one liked clippy back then, they still don't like him today. I don't see clippy leading the way into the world of "Web 3.0". - PaulOwen, on 05/11/2008, -0/+9Web 3.0? Pah.
All the text used in the comments I post are Web 4.0 compliant, including this one. - doctordbx, on 05/11/2008, -0/+8Web360 has more games.
- mirunit, on 05/11/2008, -0/+7Maybe scrolling text too?
- MiddleOfNowhere, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6This works with generic requests and small data sets: "Where is the ONE (good) cinema/bar in this ***** little town?"
When you are in a big city and have specific interests ("small theatre with foreign movies and a great pasta restaurant within walking distance which will still be open 1 a.m."), you might have to ask a lot of locals. Just saying. - RodneyJason, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6by time web 3.0 is common i want to have the movie broadcast into my brain, order from the Mexican restaurant and have the taste of the food simulated by the computer... and after finish it off with some virtual pornography.
wait just forget the movie & dinner... lets get to the important part! - socivitus, on 05/11/2008, -2/+8Will my browser know what kind of porn I like?! That would be AWESOME! ^_^
- DisposableRob, on 05/11/2008, -2/+8Nah, I'm putting on football pads and working on my crossbow skills for the eventual apocalypse you seem to be imagining. I'll just join up with my gang an take what I want from the peaceful communes we pillage.
- GDOG5, on 05/11/2008, -1/+8Its been a while since i visited "How Stuff Works". Its looking allot better now. Still has multiple short pages though. Why cant they just put all that information on one page, it'd be so much easier.
- MiddleOfNowhere, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6Yeah, we all do ... The idea here is that more stuff is done for you without any explicit commands.
I have my own pet project (a CMS with semantic tagging) in the field that is called Web 3.0 these days, but frankly, the promises in this article are the sames as those made by Apple and IBM in the early 1990s.
Back then, the same promise (make a natural language request, have products and data sent your way, wherever you may be) was based on the concept of autonomous software agents - little programs that would roam the net and act (research, negotiate, purchase) in your name.
All this will only work if we either...
a) get to see consistent semantic markup (good luck with that with regards to the ugly tag soup that is the current web)
or
b) strong A.I. (not really likely for the next decades, and if we do, I doubt said A.I. will be eager to do our shopping :) - bobcrotch, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5Marketing people. Duh. Seriously though, marketing people. They have jobs because things that need names need names.
- mitch37, on 05/11/2008, -1/+6"I want to find a story about what the web will be like in 30 years, just make sure it is made up of 76% bullcrap. What are my options?"
Please help me Web3.0 Search! - yellowfish04, on 05/11/2008, -1/+7does anyone else think this sounds ***** scary? I don't want web fcking 3.0 knowing my likes and dislikes....because if web fcking 3.0 knows everything about me, that means some ***** company over in california knows them too....***** that. LEAVE ME ALONE
- MiddleOfNowhere, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6"I'm sorry, I missed the "Web 2.0 Browser". When did that happen?"
There is e.g. a FF plugin called BlueOrganizer. I don't use it, but it claims to do some of those semantic 2.0/3.0-ish things: Recognize books, movies, names etc. on a page, offering you related services/links even if they are not part of the original page.
I'm not saying this is the second coming of Christ - just that people work on these things, and they will probably be added as a kind of software glue and/or another layer on top of what we have now (add-ins, APIs, mash-ups). So there will be gradual changes, as before (video, AJAX) and few "revolutions". - Licurgo, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5in the web 3.0 you never have to go out, you can download the tacos and the taste will be sent to your mouth trough wifi connection while a tube send a tastaless mass trough your throath and then the 2 hours movie will be downladed directly to your mind in 2 seconds and the reviews
- craterburnsu, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5pfft everyone knows the wave of the future that will be Web 3.0 is internet suppositories.
- mingthepanda, on 05/11/2008, -0/+4Remember those articles from the 50s-60s about how we'd be driving flying cars by now? Yeah, I figure this is just about as accurate.
- msbeckman, on 05/11/2008, -0/+4Wait a minute... what the ***** am I looking at here? You tricked me.
On a separate note, I would never trust a web design company that uses both a template for their site & their logo... something about that just doesn't make sense. - thailand1972, on 05/11/2008, -1/+6Web 2.0, Web 3.0 etc are meaningless, but I'm slightly interested : why ".0" anyway when there's never a .1 to .9? It's like saying this year is 2008.0.
- boodog, on 05/11/2008, -0/+4What Web evolution is the digital Internet toilet? Upon use of the smart crapper, it analyzes your specimen data and sends it to your doctors computer. If there is any irregularities with your specimen data, you get an email to schedule an appointment. It will save lives and extend our life expectancy.
- houndeyex, on 05/11/2008, -3/+8Hey, Google gets me 6. Your comment is #1.
- Planets, on 05/11/2008, -1/+5Gah, are we still throwing around useless terms like "Web 3.0"?
- jgtg32a, on 05/11/2008, -0/+4because web X.0 (alway .0 never continuing releases) is a buzz word to make tech journalists feel important
- fr3ddie, on 05/11/2008, -0/+4digg community are ***** this morning.
- Wade, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3Hint: who doesn't ask for directions and uses the internet?
