Implicit Web 3.0 Defragged!
Today was my “uh huh” moment. I guess it actually started yesterday with Jason Calacanis’ rather simplistic attempt to get the 3.0 definition space going. I can only imagine he now gets tons of back links and juice from that post and declaration. And that’s cool, don’t get me wrong.
And this morning I read Josh, the Redeye VC’s take on The Implicit Web. While longer, it is clear, and gets much more to the heart of what the next wave of evolution online is to be about. We clearly are in that slow dissolve from the 2.0 paradigm to whatever Web 3.0 Nonsense (according to Fred) title will be bestowed upon the phase.
And I’ve just read about Brad Feld’s emotional response 2.0 (to) Labels that mean nothing. And I think he has a good point, however, I also believe that those of us participating in these conversations are clearly the leading edge. The moniker is NOT for us! It is for all of the rest of the curve beyond the chasm we are going to help bridge. Those people need something short and sweet and descriptive in order to participate in the conversation (and all else which follows!)
However, for me, I’ve been wondering what the hell defrag “really” is to be about, as well as that concept of implicit web. All I can say is that if you are not “getting it” just keep receiving it. Subscribe to this site, and Jason’s feed, and Fred and Josh’s as well as others. Eventually all of the nebulous concepts will gel and you’ll get it.
Of course, just like college algebra and trig, you’ll probably lose the concept pretty quickly! (I still don’t know how I passed those classes!) But continuing to read about it from various sources will add layer upon layer of knowledgeable understanding.
Do you get it? If so, please share what your take on the next wave of online evolution might look like!
