long time not blogged… here is a random thought which grows in my mind for some time now. Leo blogged some time ago about web 3.0 being something like this definition:
web3.0 = web2.0 + semantic web
Well this brings me to thinking again at what’s web2.0 about. And why did we need a new name for it, it is still the web isn’t it?
I believe there is no new technology with web2.0, it is the concept we have of the web which changed. With web1.0 we understood the web as the set of http documents and links between them. Then we realised that the web includes also the people authoring these documents or browsing them, the very idea of the web changed and we needed to change the name to distinguish between the two concepts leading to this two definitions:
web = set of interconnected documents
web2.0 = web + humans
Then following these definitions what would be the web3.0, I believe the next change of concept will be when we will understand that there is no difference between the web and the world, both being a set of interconnected thoughts, leading to the definition:
web3.0 = a set of interconnected thoughts + humans
Where is the semantic web in all that? I don’t know.
