Stop the Presses – Web 3.0 Defined!

By Mark Evans | Published: October 4, 2007

You like potato and I like potahto,
You like tomato and I like tomahto;
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto!
Let’s call the whole thing off!

You say Web 2.0 and I say Web 3.0
You say live Web and I say static Web
Ajax, .Net, Java, XML
Let’s call the whole thing off?

How else to respond for Jason Calacanis’ courageous attempt to define Web 3.0 than a reference to George Gershwin’s “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off”. Fred Wilson calls it “nonsense”, while Jeremy Toeman proclaims Web 3.0 will never see the light of day. For what it’s worth, here’s the Wikipedia definition.

    Web 2.0 was “defined” after it had already been with us for a couple of years. I don’t think I’ve seen anything that would be considered Web 3.0ish yet (at least nothing I know about).
