Mg774_collaborationblog > Are we ready for Web 3.0?
I would definitely agree - I saw the article as well. Just attention grabbing. Although, for both the hardware and software worlds, I feel like the "speed" of releases has increased. Would you agree?

Yeah. I have the same feeling. The pace of new releases has become more fluid which kind of make it harder to discern when a major breakthrough comes along.

These buzzwords are more ideology than technology. They are based on a set of technologies, such as AJAX (asyncronous javascript and xml), w3c web compliant xhtml and css (and the coming html 5 and css 3), ruby on rails, etc. But more so, its an way of thinking when developing web platforms that defined web 2.0. The idea of collaboration, open source, social media, etc coupled with the technology. Web 2.0 was the start of bringing some order and standards to the web. Web 3.0 is the next step in making the web act as if it is the operating system, and web sites or applications on the web act as desktop software. Cloud computing is one of the big things defining "web 3.0"

Web 2.0- I feel that we are yet to realize the tech capabilities of Web 2.0...However, I agree with Dan on pace of technological changes...Web 2.0 technologies are shall I say "By the people...for the the people"...When things happen in a much collaborative way,...where by people are given more power to innovate...things can change very rapidly....people who watch carefully makes profit out of these technologies...

The reason web 2.0 was a huge success both as a buzzword and as a new platform is because it was a paradigm shift in how people interact on the web (ajax) and how content is created (created by the users for users).
The next big wave the way I see it is cloud computing and services (paid). I'd like to call this Enterprise 2.0 rather than Web 3.0 because it will mostly impact the enterprise and commercial entities.
This new wave, by decreasing the upfront costs in infrastructure and licensing will level the playing ground and make many smaller companies more competitive against larger players in the industry.
What do you think will happen to companies who have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in licensing and infrastructure? What kind of pressure will they put on the service companies?

I like "Enterprise 2.0", good term which really captures the trend

Companies that develop software usually use version numbers, like 1.0 and 2.0, to mark major software advancements between releases, for example Windows 7. Okay maybe that was a bad example... Along the same lines, what is the major breakthrough that justifies calling it Web 3.0? They mention Thin Clients and the Apple Iphone and they talk about ubiquitous computing...Well, we all have heard that before. When? When someone announced Web 2.0 arrival.
My guess is that they just want to be the first to say it.. ok, maybe 2.1 but definitely not 3.0.
