SpunOne writes "Apparently Jeffrey Zeldman is as sick of Web 2.0 as many of us have become. In his latest article, titled "Web 3.0," he really sticks it to the Web 2.0 fan boys, and dispels a lot of the hype generated by our young new friends. It's easy to grow apathetic when a new idea gains so much traction so quickly, but his points are clear and accurate, and deserve consideration."

start thinking about usability and design by digitaldc · 2006-01-17 02:20 · Score: 5, Funny

more often than not, big teams have slowly and expensively labored to produce overly complex web applications whose usability was near nil on behalf of clients with at best vague goals.

We need to immediately have a meeting to discuss reducing complexity, increasing usability and clarifying our goals.

  More to the point, our potential to leverage dynamic interfaces and drive seamless infrastructures leaves us needing disintermediate clicks-and-mortar methodologies to synergize back-end metrics. We are then able to synthesize e-business infomediaries while maintaining a aggregate efficient convergence.

Web 3.0 is for Fedora fan-boys. Debian users will continue with Web 1.0 (or rather 1.1), which has the same interface as 1.0 but all of the security fixes of 2.0 backported.

Patented business methods -- find me some VC! by wild_berry · 2006-01-17 02:46 · Score: 2, Funny

I have replaced you with a shell script. You are no longer needed.

However, I have just replaced myself with two shell scripts: the one above and one taking my venture-lent millions and IPO'ing. Further, I have a patent to the business method of replacing employees with shell scripts and will IPO it to make millions. Then I'll write a shell script -- most likely in a different language, Ruby, Haskell, PHP, perhaps -- to do the same as a Web 2.0 thing before reinventing myself for Web 3.0 (there exists a business method patent for reinventing the same business methods again and again, but it's being contested by religions and crime syndicates).

P.S. Word to the wise about Web 3.0: it won't be stable until 3.1 and then 3.11 will bring real connectivity to the Web...

We clearly need 2.0 2.0. It's just like 2.0 1.0, but it's totally interactive ans dynamic and socially collaborative with Ruby tags all over the place. It also has rounded corners.

ahem... but it turns out that the real use is...

Web 1.0 is about allowing individuals to create and share porn.
Web 2.0 is about allowing groups to create and share porn.
Web 3.0 is about allowing societies to create and share porn.

Or more succintly, since the above distinctions seem pretty meaningless (in both my and your versions), web = porn (or ideas, or whatever you think really happens on the web).
