We termed these changes as a new generation of that technology, like with the invention of Personal Computers, we termed them a new genetation of Computers. Later on we tagged them P1, P2, P3 and so on, depending on their speed and other efficiencies. Likewise web also experienced these obvious changes in its framework and operation. So with the introduction of new milestone in this respect we tagged them Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and web 3.0 (or sementic web). So there should not be any ambiguity in this respect and we should not say these are marketing terms. Thanks Usman Muzaffar Bagh, Azad Kashmir.

If anyone wants more information on the same then this link would be of help http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9013518&pageNumber=1 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 15:43:22 -0600 http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/464/Basic-Definitions-Web-10-Web-20-Web-30/#comment8764 http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/464/Basic-Definitions-Web-10-Web-20-Web-30/#comment8144 So I guess this site I worked on in 1999 was already Web 2.0: http://www.saleslinks.com/sideline/apr-jul99/06v1.htm The reader comments at the bottom were posted manually from emails, but the technology to do so was certainly available and widespread.

Its all about constructing the application in such a way so that it is most usable / user friendly. E.g. Putting big buttons on form or attracting user by the means of color / group / shape / size are all already proven studies. Its only some tech savvy marketing persons, selling their company product by using such jargons.... Cheer!!

I completely agree here. Tim Berner Lee the founder of the internet has mentioned already (wikipedia) that Web x.x has got nothing new in it. All the standards in Web x.x are already covered in W3C. This is just another techno-babble hyping jargon.

We shouldn't be stereotyped or hypocrites try to evolve...........evolution is the fact.

They are all just websites with different features." ...and then there are platforms. Any one site could not possibly be 'Web 3.0' or even genuinely 'Web 2.0' for that matter. That's the point and if you don't get that now, then you never will. See you in 1994 when VRML hit the scene. Think-tanks at NASA and all around the world have "been there, done that" and moved on to Web 4, 5, 6, 7. They pulled back on these 'truly different' efforts a decade ago to give computing power a chance to catch up. SecondLife is Cosmo Browser's great grand-child. You might as well be waiting for the discovery of America while you're at it. I'm not a 'tech guy' just a 'guy who knows a thing about the Internet'. William: "Spend your time on other issues." I couldn't agree more, be on your way now.

Looking forward to the RWE version becoming universal.

These labels are just tech guys trying to talk over peoples' heads. Well, I get it and I still think it's useless! This is really not worth the effort of even thinking about. To anyone who is confused on this subject: DON'T BOTHER! Spend your time on other issues.

They are all just websites with different features. Buzz words to sell more articles. When something truly different comes out mainstream, like Virtual Reality, then give it name.

Most of us are still confused about Web 2.0. Now we're going to hear about Web 3.0. Mamma Mia!

She does a great job of outlining the challenges of the web, and how we need to look at facing them. However, I think that our viewpoints go hand-in-hand with regard to the kind of interoperability that she describes in her formula: Web 3.0 = (Content, Community, Commerce, Context + Personalization + Vertical Search) To put it in the context of what she envisions, in order to get the applications that power everything to be able to communicate with each other, some sort of semantic markup will be required. Machines can dish out content, handle community interactions, and even provide commerce experiences. However, they lack context, which is what semantic markup (like RDF) attempts to bring to the dance. With the introduction of context, all five of her other ingredients change dramatically. Take her example of being a petite woman with dark skin and dark hair, and a very finicky sense of style. There are already mechanisms available for her to...

Please read this: Web 3.0 = (4C + P + VS). And for a series of examples, you can see her analysis of the Personal Finance category from a Web 3.0 perspective.
