Scobleizer: Web 2007 is here … or somethin!

  • Bill Olen · 3 years ago
    You da best! Rock on.
  • LayZ · 3 years ago
    Was that an attempt at humor. BTW, what happened to taking the week off? Is that Step 0?
  • Robert Scoble · 3 years ago
    LayZ: nah, this isn't funny.

    It's what happens when I don't blog for a weekend. For me, that's the same as taking a week off.

    Great, yet more learning to do. I’m soon going to need 2 heads to take all this information in!
  • Robert Scoble · 3 years ago
    Justin: you must have missed the point. There's nothing real here. I'd spend your time learning Ruby on Rails. That'll be a more marketable skill over the next few years than reading up about Web 3.

    Google's Eric Schmidt used Web 3.0 earlier this year:

    I'm sure web innovation is geometric, not arithmetic.

    So, um, (Web ^ 2) ?
  • Bess · 3 years ago
    You are way too funny. Forget Web 3.0. We are not even getting the rest of the world to move from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. Do you know there are thousands of bad sites out there?

    I wrote about web 3.0 on my blog way back on 17th October, 2006 . My idea of web 3.0 is totally different. Whatever you discuss here, you can call it web 2007 or web 2.1 or whatever..

    It's atleast worth thinking about what I said on 17/10/2006 over here: http://pradx.wordpress.com/2006/10/17/web-30-po...

    thank you,
    Pradeep

    Well I used 'Web 3.0' in a blog post in June, and back then I mentioned I wasn't the first... Check out http://www.joiningdots.net/blog/2006/06/changin...
  • Pradeep · 3 years ago
    I meant to say just that...although it might not have come out like that..
  • Shmuel · 3 years ago
    I don’t think your post grasped what the Web 3.0 concept really is. If Web 1.0 was cumulating information and Web 2.0 was the ability to rehash and present that information in different forms, than Web 3.0 will provide the correct information at the correct time and place. No longer the need to skim through tens and hundreds of results on search engines, no longer will we need to figure out how to connect this form of information to that in order to create new ways of presenting information.
    The new web will understand the giving information to create the correct formulations for our needs.

    Web 3.0? Laggards. I'm already detailing Web 4.0 and it's absolutely amazing (hint: it includes Pamela Anderson and licking!)

    Oh, and Robert... web40.info is available :P So tempting, eh?!
  • Alberto D'Ottavi · 3 years ago
    Nice post. I don't like the buzzwords-jumping, too :)

    But I do like the idea of a meta-description language (RDF?) that simplifies searches and allows the software to "learn" a little bit, like Last.fm does with my music... it's such an old stuff that now it's time we do it ;D

    I remember a quip from your buddy Bill earlier in March at MIX06. He was ending his 1-on-1 conversation with Tim O'Reilly.

    http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/speeches/200...

    TIM O'REILLY: All right, well, I think we've got to wrap here. Listen, can I get you to come to our Web 2.0 conference in November? I'd love to continue the conversation.

    BILL GATES: Well, by then you might have to call it Web 3.0.

    TIM O'REILLY: That's true. Let's see what makes sense. (Laughter.) Okay, thank you very much.

    BILL GATES: Thanks a lot, Tim, good job.

    (I guess it didn't work out)

    Can't we just go with the new, new web?

    As an educator- the buzz is extremely heavy about Web 2.0- we have been beaten over the head with it, and it does seem to hold promise for re-thinking education delivery...HOWEVER...we are still dealing with Teacher 1.0 and still trying to find the upgrade path...

    In typical marketing fashion, it seems like we are on to the next big thing...I'm sure that in short order every school district in the country will be booking Web 3.0/2007 consultants (at considerable expense) to explain why we can't exist without all of the great apps. (if 2.0 was the read/write web will 3.0 sing and dance?)

    Kudos for heralding this as a non-event!
