Recently, i’ve come across the following 3 lines, in a spam message and in the email signature of the chairman of Ecademy:
Web 1.0 – Find Me
Web 2.0 – Join Me
Web 3.0 – Follow Me
Without analysing it too much it does appear to sum up the evolution of the web and the popular trends over the last few years.
Could almost be:
Web 1.0 – Google
Web 2.0 – Facebook
Web 3.0 – Twitter
Whilst it hasn’t reached the entire population of the planet, for those with reliable high speed internet access it’s now a hyper connected world. And these three ‘versions’ of the web offer 3 slightly different but very useful ways to filter the vast amounts of content available to all:
Web 1.0 – Search driven
Web 2.0 – The social web and RSS
Web 3.0 – Conversational and peer filtered
There’s one other significant factor that’s changing the way we access and use information and that is the mobile web or arguably the iPhone.
