Can the Web Survive v3.0

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the still-waiting-on-the-2.0-bugfixes dept.

robotsrule writes "The battle lines between skeptic and evangelist are already drawn. Either way, Web 3.0 will either be the new face of the Web that launched a thousand empty business plans, or the tipping point into a vastly more exciting phase of the Web. This Web 3.0 article asserts that the marraige of artificial intelligence to the infrastructure of Web 3.0 will dramatically accelerate our capacity for distributed problem solving. However, it also issues dire warnings on the potential hyper-euphoria that will accompany it."

      Dear fellow Inter-Web freinds,

      Greetings eveyrone. My name is john2913. I have been surfing teh Inter-Web for almost 2 years, and I am confused about this Inter-Web thingy you're talking about.

      You see, I hav been using Inta-Web 6.0 (with this "e" icon) for a long time, until my friend, pengwn1337 helped me install this Web 1.5 with a red burning circle.

      I have haerd that the Inta-Web version has upgraded. Please tell me so I can get updated! Is the latest the Intaer-Web version Web 2.0, or is it Web 7.0 ????????? Why are my cool friends using Web 2.0 instead of the Web 7.0? I heard Web 7.0 was made by Billy gates so it must be good. Hmm...

      Please help me. Thx.

      Yours Truly,

      john2193

    Will the Web 3.0 be able to leverage Ajax technologies and XML, XSLT, and XAML, technologies to leverage a synergy between forward-thinking strategies and ISO-9000 quality?

    Web 3.0? Are these people crazy? I mean, Web 2.1 is still in beta testing, BLINK and MARQUEE were only just moved from the trunk to the branch, and these folks expect the Internet to release a 3.0 line already?

    Mozilla will propose new standards for CSS4.0 which will be an XML Schema and will have sticky floating flash avertisements that intercept your right mouse button and Javascript 3.0 which will look like python.

    Microsoft IE will silently implement the standard because they know that by doing that they achive adoption and besides IE, other browsers will be left behind. Thus, the only existing two browsers will have floating flash ads that intercept your right button and run binary blobs from youtube.

    Few major sites with many visitors, likw msn.com and youtube, will start using these features right away. Thus users will be forced to keep a Firefox or IE handy.

    Google will give $10M to buy a small company by two israeli students who are doing a word processor in AJAX3. Developers will start using AJAX3 in hope to be bought by google.

    Adobe will be rich by selling botnet services by the flash plugins to investors. Mozilla will be rich because google will give it $700M for every accidential adclick by the right mouse button. Microsoft will be bought by adobe. Google will buy Apple. Gabmle and Proctor will buy Levono.
