The 'Web 3.0' concept.

[Sunner]

Remove flash for everything where there's another choice(except for Java).
Same as above, but Java and Flash switch places.
Remove all blogs, every single one of them.
Make all sites as plain and simple as openbsd.org, gmail, etc.

Hmm, this reminds of the web right around the time Netscape 1.0 was released...oh yeah, the good ole days.

Decentralized data storage and hosting - For example, rather than creating a Facebook profile on Facebook's servers, the data would be hosted on my own machine. That's a simple example, but it could be extended to entire websites, financial data, etc... enabling me to tightly control my online ID.

Oh, and the end of Flash/Java for anything other than interactive demos. All intros and websites built entirely around Flash/Java should be destroyed.

Yeah.



BTW, I wouldn't consider forums to be part of web 2.0. They've been around since the beginning in one shape or another and they've been like we know them now since the late 1990's.

edit: Instant messaging has been around just as long.

So hasn't everything he listed on that list.

- Mass file sharing and hosting.
Napster was released in 1999 and FTP was used long before that. Sure the size of the file has increased but that has nothing to do with web 2.0

- Knowledge bases (aka wiki)
I think wiki might be the only new thing on your list

- Hosting services (such as youtube)
It was called geocities, and blogs where called homepages and just as gay.

- Social networking (Myspace, facebook, etc)
Facebook and the like are just newer versions of Classmates.com which came out in 1995. Sure they are bigger now but only because more people are on the internet.

Sorry, I don't buy into this web 2.0, 3.0 nonsense. The concept was created by marketing and means absolutely nothing. As for what I'd like to see in the immediate future on the net, you can't go wrong with more porn.

 

[Bateluer]

Steaming HD content and no anti-consumer DRM built in.

Fewer Flash website sites that take forever to load would be nice.

 

[dug777]

I can't stand moronic terms like 'web 2.0' :|

 

[0roo0roo]

yup #@% web x.0 cr@p. its bullsh*t.

just improve the websites and be done with it, if the improvement isn't self evident labeling it with trashy marketing speak is pointless

Ditch email and come up with something spamproof, assuming that's possible.

I prefer "Web the Third: The reign of Google"

I think the next big step in web development will be moving more things from the desktop to the web. An example would be Google's word/excel apps that are completely online (as well as your saved files).

It's possible once you trade in your anonymity.

Except that is moving in the other direction

I'm still waiting for virtual reality. It was promised to me 10 years ago. Long live VRML!!!

 

[Vegitto]

I would love it if:

-Every browser maker would get their shit together and made sure that a site looks exactly the same in every browser
-Developers would actually follow standards

As for the rest, I don't really know what I'd like to see.. Better graphics, more interactivity, basically just a continuation of Web 2.0.

Less idiots making up meaningless buzzwords. That and even better rounded corners.

How about greater support for CSS2 and 3 so rounded corners can be EASILY implemented without the use of images.

They should try getting CSS1 right first.

That would be an interesting idea, but I think that would require hosting the info on a server of your choosing, as all of the incoming connections to your computer and being required to run a server on your computer 24/7 would make it impossible to get work done on it.

Email in itself is outdated, as far as I'm concerned.

All of the business people where I work will spend 30 minutes trying to type exactly what they need to say into an email and ensuring that everything that needs to be said is said, but without saying too much that people won't read it... then they wait half the day for a response that might not even be what they need to know. Instant Messaging, while somewhat juvenile, is so much more convienient and much more personal than email.

IM has done to email what email did to faxes... which is what faxes did to snail mail. Might not have killed it entirely, but it made it too slow for our fast-paced society.

I'd like Web 3.0 to include a ban on gimmicky marketing phrases that are ultimately useless and meaningless.

I don't agree at all.

There is still a well founded formality of a "business letter". Ever send out RFPs or bids? The responses are still snail mail, business letter format. IM is fine for a quick - hey, do you know where this information lies (typical knowledge seeker/worker). But if you give another company something to chew on in hopes of earning business, it is done by "official" correspondance.

Have an offer for employment or signing a contract or accepting a bid? Get it in writing.

But business correspondance is still only official via the phone and mail/e-mail and a handshake. I'm surprised that you don't see the power of the fax-machine as it is used exclusively in place of hand signing.

 

[Goosemaster]

no seriously:

web3.0 is about offline.

[arrfep]

I would like to see the "e" put back into words that normally end with "-er".

 

[imported_Tango]

We still don't have anything worth of being called web 2.0

They just decided it was time to stick a new label on it, but still no substance...

 

[ppdes]

Web 3 needs a way to filter out all the sh!t. For example, human comparable AI is developed, everyone makes a copy of themselves using it, and the AI goes and browses the web for you. Only things it decides are worth seeing are brought to the attention of the human counterpart.

Eventually they merge into Skynet and kill the humans, but that's Web 4.
