  • inactive, on 08/28/2008, -2/+142what is web 3.0?
    a buzzword with no real meaning.

    it's not like everyone's going to get a dialog saying
    "a new version of web is available (3.0) would you like to upgrade?"

    it's just going to be a gradual adoption of new technology, like css and svg was…
    add some new code, and it's suddenly a new version of the internet! please.
  • RogerStrong, on 05/09/2008, -1/+120Web 3.0 is the next means-whatever-you-want-it-to-mean buzzword used to attract investors.
  • Planets, on 05/09/2008, -3/+108Buried for using the sensationalist, cliche "revolution" title.
  • ubernoggin, on 05/09/2008, -1/+97I'm already using Web 4.0, so I don't see what the big deal is.
  • bsander, on 05/09/2008, -0/+46Web 4.0 = Profit!
  • psevium, on 05/09/2008, -1/+43Who else is hoping the term dies a fiery death soon?
  • centinall, on 05/09/2008, -2/+39No need to be so anti-semantic.
  • travis6690, on 05/09/2008, -3/+40Will Web 3.0 have holographic porn?
  • agisten, on 05/09/2008, -6/+39More like web 0.3 .... Long way to go to real web revolution...

  • inactive, on 05/09/2008, -2/+23So basically, more web apps and ***** social networking services. *****.
  • meman2, on 05/09/2008, -4/+25Dugg in hopes that the Web 2.0 term will get replaced by anything, anything at all, even if it's Web 3.0

  • MaxP3, on 05/09/2008, -8/+28"Web 3.0 is frequently referred to as an environment consisting of intelligent web-based semantic applications..."
  • venicerocco, on 05/09/2008, -1/+21Is this like color TV?
  • newstart, on 05/09/2008, -2/+21No thank you. I am still waiting for Web 2.0, Service Pack 2
  • datagod, on 05/09/2008, -1/+20Web 3.0 will add bump maps to your web pages, and 8.1 channel surround sound to your mouse clicks.
  • GBRob08, on 05/09/2008, -0/+18Web 3.0 = Skynet
  • jer2eydevil88, on 05/09/2008, -1/+18Oooowh they have The Internet on computers now!
  • fkr3, on 05/09/2008, -1/+16Web 2.0 is just a word idiots say to each other while they pat each other on the back and congratulate each other on their supreme awesomeness for including some big, bloated but popular javascript library across their awesome, life-changing application that takes your to do list, adds collaberation features on the remote chance that *anyone* gives a flying ***** what you're doing today, and spits out a link you can click on on your cellphone to view your list rendered as a jpg converted to a pdf outputted as html.

    The list of attributes these retards have decided "define" web 2.0 are all stupid and pre-date their precious buzzword by a decade or more. It's not design elements, it's not "new technologies" like "ajax" or "php", it's not users submitting ***** or "social networking" aka "add friend" and "message friend" buttons.

    Web 2.0 *was* the evolution of business models post-bubble, now it's just a marketing buzzword that approximately means "yet another way to do some crap you never needed to do before".
  • patthew, on 05/09/2008, -1/+15Web 3.0 is corners so round our monitors will turn in on themselves into a black hole so dense not one cent of venture capital will be able to escape.
  • inactive, on 05/09/2008, -3/+16It's about reducing the noise
  • Shogi, on 05/09/2008, -2/+13At least it ain't BREAKING!!!!
  • YamiJim, on 05/09/2008, -3/+12i am debating making more accounts to dig you up more, i am so ***** sick of this god damn market hype *****. the web is the web, they only version difference you could EVER logically make was the jump from ascci BBSs to graphical browsers and untill i'm jaking into some sort or brain scaning 3d broswer or some sort, then no web 3.0 does not exist.
  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 05/09/2008, -0/+9It's just another sales pitch. It doesn't mean anything specific.
  • known, on 05/09/2008, -0/+9Web 1.0 = synchronous communication on web.
    Web 2.0 = asynchronous communication on web.
    Web 3.0 = ?.
  • doshindude, on 05/09/2008, -0/+9I got the leaked Web 5.0b1.
  • aMammoth, on 05/09/2008, -2/+10Ah, I hate stupid terms like 2.0 3.0. Where's my web 2.1? Are we just going to go right to 3.0? I think I might copyright web 4.0, then become a millionare!!

  • hellathatguy, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7system already went online august 4th, 1997
  • Aensland, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7BREAKING: Web 3.0, the upcoming revolution.

    There, fixed.
  • ElbertF, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7Then it's no longer noise is it?
  • johanm, on 05/09/2008, -1/+7actual working semantic web will take a while. and when it works i sure f*cking hope it wont be called web 3.0
  • Southcoast247, on 05/09/2008, -1/+7Web versions aren't the declaration of a certain visual style. Glassy just happens to be whats trendy, but there are plenty of Web 2.0 sites that aren't glassy and reflective. Web versions are based on the dominant use and development of certain technologies and web softwares. For example, Myspace and Digg are Web 2.0 websites because of their networking and information sharing capabilities. I'm sure there will be glass and reflection in Web 3.0 as well, since this is a Post-Modern design era and people just slosh asthetics together.
  • profcornbread, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6I couldn't agree more. As a web designer I am so sick of "whatever" 2.0. Stop it. Shut up.
  • digitaldan87, on 05/09/2008, -1/+6-- halographic rick roll.
  • mijelh, on 05/09/2008, -2/+7"right now everything is god dam 2d"

    Fortunately
  • broysox, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5sweet copy and paste job from wikipedia
  • mudgie, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5Web 2.0 has no clear definition, so tacking 3.0 on the end doesn't mean *****. User interaction has always been apart of the Internet, there's just more technology behind it now. I don't call my car a Vehicle 4.5 Alpha 3 Rendition 1C because it has electric windows and a GPS.

    Blog and podcast are also stupid terms. Who's the ***** who keeps making these pseudo-words popular?
  • ByteGuerilla, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Indeed.

    I had to write a paper on the Semantic Web recently. The crux of the criticism is well-argued in this article by Clay Shirky: http://www.shirky.com/writings/semantic_syllogism. ...
  • lincolnluxor, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4SEED!!!
  • MrTito, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5WTF is Shpinn? Hmm, all the article links go to Sphinn.com... "Internet Marketing News & Discussion Forums".

    Oh, spam. Buried as such.
  • YamiJim, on 05/09/2008, -3/+7WEB3.0 IS PEOPLE!!!!!
  • fuhlavaflave, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4"Did someone just open a vault and then close it?"
    "No, I just double-clicked."
  • drakethegreat, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Buzz words, *****, buzz words, and you get the picture. This article is a crapload of BS where they ask people who have been successful what they think the future will entail and nobody has a clue. Why don't we let the future occur and stop pretending like we can predict it...
  • radicaldementia, on 05/09/2008, -4/+7How many articles have we seen on digg touting "web3.0"? Semantic web technologies like RDF have been around for a long time, and very little has come out of them in the real world. I think whatever we end up calling web3.0 will be very different and unexpected.
  • noahgelman, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4To be honest, that would probably work
  • Genma, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3web 3.0 = the second biggest misnomer ever to hit the internet.
