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.

    Web NT follows 3.0

    Web ME will be a more family and consumer friendly web.

    Web XP will be the new Experienced Web.

    Do not try to understand or comprehend web 3.0. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth: there is no web 3.0.

    Heck, there isn't even a web 2.0.
