Does anyone remember the good old days of "web1.0" when we would have no social interaction at all... apart from email, mailing lists, websites, forums, news sites, comments, IM and file sharing.
Those were lonely times, I'm so happy it's over and I can now subscribe to people's RSS feeds because I don't know what I would do if 500 people didn't tell me about a new spider-man trailer all at the same time. - DavidDigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9This is just sad. It reminds me of the Apple-speak that was so prevalent in the early 90s. Someone in a high school english class should print this out as an example of how many words you can fit into a paragraph without actually communicating any coherent ideas at all.
- darkfate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Web 2.51 is a patch to 2.5 that fixes the "blackhole" problems that were reported during the alpha testing phase.
- CriX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It is truly a future of user-centered synergies, post rich-client networking, syndicated data-driven value, sharing viral blogospheres, and narfling the Garthok.
- noamsml, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Did they say "synergy" yet?
- jeremyh42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4So the series of tubes will eventually become one big tube?
- PAJK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Phew. So I wasn't the only one who read that and felt like 5 minutes had disappeared.
- partyonaisle7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The diagram is quite transformative. The Egg of Progress is followed by the Unifying Arrow of Singularity (+5).
I think this guy is serious, or at least he's playing the game of looking academic in earnest. - dagonweb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2A bit of incoherent, vague, abstract slang aint anywhere near a kurzweilian singularity.
- SwordofKahless, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Just as long as they do not open up a quantum singularity that will allow Species 8472 to enter our universe.
- fyre2012, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Technological Singularity, here we come!
- simd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Shame - this could be a very interesting topic. Shame it's also incomprehensible.
- Prospero424, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2But will it maintain orbit with crucial, disintermediate holistic paradigms necessary for ensuring the balance of the company's financial solar system?
- m0laria, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yea, because you can't just dump it all onto one big truck
- reeder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1noamsml
You beat me! I was going to say "paradigm shift," though. - mranissimov, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Plugging http://singinst.org in a Singularity-relevant thread.
- Bryan6Aero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2DavidDigg is absolutely correct. I wonder if this article is a joke because I was ready for some very prescient exploration of the future of the Internet and all I could discern was a lot of mumbo jumbo and phony intellectual constructs. He didn't really tell us anything did he?
- snyper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A little late to the party? I think this whole notion was covered about 10 years ago but the book and website: http://cluetrain.com/ .
- FelixdaaHack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You'll get more out of listening to the O'Reilly podcasts (found for free at IT conversations) than reading this this blog entry
www.itconversations.com/series/etech2005.html - tybris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah whatever, lets see if it survives the net neutrality debate first.
- fyre2012, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is it just me, or did the title of this story change?
- KungFuLarry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Third comment down made it worth my time.
- GnuTzu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow! Yet another technology that has to be superceded before it can be clearly defined.
- m0laria, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1narf narf narfffffffffffffffffffffffff
- reeder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I think the only "singularity" is in this guy's bedroom.
ZING!!
;-P - kettlechips, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Web 2.5
- neet, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Yah, but a gravitational singularity would be more fun. If the Internet collapses into one, do we all get sucked in too?
