Wait, wait wait! If you talk to some non-geek about the Web2.0 you can easily perceive a sort of mist coming up and gathering you in your discussion. Yes, because despite a lot of words on it, the Faboulous “Web2.0” is nothing! It is the “rediscover of the wheel” or simply: how to change a little bit an old dress in order to make it seems new!
Now, as long as you think “ok, let’s try this Thing 2.0” it can be fine… in the end you will understand that is nothing more than what you are already experiencing in some “cool” site.
Ok, fine, but the voice of a Web 3.0 is making me laugh! We are already reusing something old, it is impossible to sell it again, come on! As Jason says in in his blog (very interesting, indeed)… “we still haven’t gotten a bug fix for Web 1.0, and Web 2.0 is still in beta.”
We have to sell, sell, sell, sell. and maybe sell something more. Ok, I can accept the world we are living in, but I pretend that if someone is going to sell me something, it should be something real. I remember an old post I have written with all my heart: HTML Must Die! Read it if you haven’t already.
I think that if we really want something innovative, giving great importance to semantic and contents, we sould not forget the layout. Working in the Web Enviroment have let me understood how much flexible internet can be… but Javascript reinvented with Ajax, HTML transformed with DHTML and friends has done their times. Now there is the requirement to a Real New Standard! No matter if I use Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera or Safari: semantic layer, content layer and layout should be separated, but available to everyone!
Before talking about Web 3.0 and similar idiocy, let’s discuss about something INNOVATIVE, something NEW!
Data-Metadata-Presentation: let’s work on this, forgetting HTML, Javascript and Ajax, or Web 3.0 will remain an old shoe!

There is a point where new businesses seem to focusing on ideas that solve problems in people’s lives and start obsessing over making money. Your ideas about HTML are pretty interesting; I’ll read more. Keep at it.

Hello! (and Welcome)
The fact that the world of technology is ruled by a sort of “Empire at War” with few “Rebels” creates a set of moral questions about what will happen tomorrow.
I Fear that as long as the big names will try to conquer the market, the users will not be helped. If you will find five different standards, nobody will take advantage of a new technology.
It’s a long time I don’t see any real enhancement in the technology surrounding internet, do you? The Web Services? The rss Feeds? They are nothing but a reshape of what we already have! Xml? Maybe.
Thanks for the comments! Comments and critics are Always Welcome!

May be, next year the “web 3.0″ will be represents through a new version of interne protocol ;-) My two cents: “Html must die and IP too…..”

Very Bubble Web 2.0, Web 3.0 Article » Webomatica
[...] 4. Web 3.0. As if all this Web 2.0 hype wasn’t enough, there are several paragraphs devoted to Web 3.0 which I guess must be in alpha since Web 2.0 isn’t even out of beta. I guess if you want to leap past the social-networking-user-content-podcast-AJAX thing, you can jump into the “global mind.” Maybe this big idea will involve hiring an entire third-world nation (one of the African ones might do) to tag everyone’s data.
