Gartner Touts Web 2.0, Scoffs At Web 3.0

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the web-2.1.12.3-just-doesn't-have-quite-the-same-ring dept.

An anonymous reader writes to mention that even though Web 2.0 is just now starting to gain widespread acceptance, there are those who are already trying to hijack the term Web 3.0. According to Gartner, there are quite a few new technologies and incremental modifications to existing Web 2.0 technology, but nothing that could equal the level of fundamental change exhibited by the shift to Web 2.0.

    Well pity on them, because little to they know that the version numbers for the internet do not increment by one, they double. So the next version will be 4.0.
