Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. How is it that a conference name meant to convey the resurgence of the internet, following the bubble, through the emergence of second generation services and sites that facilitated community and collaboration, became as overinflated as the perceived value of many of the “Web 1.0″ sites? At the end of the day, I’ll happily side with a guy who was there.
So now the race is on to define Web 3.0.
- Jason Calacanis definition coincidentally defines Web3.0 as Web2.0 through a vetting process (mahalo.com)
- Nova Spivack defines it as a timeline where we will leverage technologies as-of-yet released (ie: RDF and OWL) and realized with Radar Networks (also as-of-yet released)
So to throw my two cents in, Web 3.0 will be:
The Web now defeated and depressed, feeling tremendous guilt for indulging the ruthless ambition of the nineties, seeks to legitimize his family’s interests and enter respectable society through real estate investment and charity but is kept back by the ambitions of his young nephew Mobile 2.0. In the end, he dies alone, redeemed only after paying the ultimate price for his sins.
