I’m beginning a weekly series reviewing, exploring, and living Web 2.0. Every Friday, I will take a look at this emerging approach to the internet and how it relates to our lives. Web 1.0, if I can call it that, lasted probably beyond the confines of a decade. Being in an age of exponential growth, only a few years after coining the term, Web 2.0, the proverbial ‘they’ are already talking about Web 3.0. Those actively pursuing careers and developing lives today will soon be inundated with this technology. It will be imperative to maintain knowledge as much as understanding Web 2.0 will surely enhance your life. Ready? It’s easy or supposed to be easy. I will bring facts so you understand what everything means and share with you what is out there to use.
Since the introduction was long, I’ll keep this part short. Web 2.0…
can refer to a trend in web design and development — a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services (such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies) which aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing between users…
…it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use webs. -Wikipedia

Wow, and I finally am understanding Web 1.0 now I need to learn something new.
Actually, I find most of my internet time is spent in those areas that are more Web 2.0 based (social networking, wikipedia, peer to peer, blogs etc.) according to the article. Will Web 3.0 be a tethered world where we are so utterly connected because of internet phones and laptops that are wi fi connected nationwide. I know when I took my foirst sales job in 1994 I lived with no computer, no pager, and no cell phone. Now i couldn’t start the process without these items.
I’m actually reallly excited that you are doing this. It is one more way in which I can get my tech news. I watch a daily video blog from one of the G4 Tech TV hosts but I still end up behind on news.
Thanks
