Pretty soon we'll need an assigned names and numbers authority for buzzwords. Sign me up for the good old stuff, like Cyber and Meta.

About the text, though, I am not sure if this is simply the art student/hippie reformulation of the Web 2.0 talking points (Look! There are people here and they are doing ... Stuff(R)!) or whether the idea that the web needs to invent its own form of (post-pop) cultural dialogue (beyond /b/-memes) is actually an interesting thought to follow up on. Although I think that this challenge is real, it probably won't happen in a blog that is obviously hunting for reach and it won't have a version number on it.

Pudo,

Thanks for your comment. It's one of the more interesting ones I've received about the post so far.

I do think it's a serious question, and it's something I'm passionate about. Of course, I don't mean to say I'm "right", and I'd also be very for the question to be picked up properly in much more well frequented places that my own small blog!

As for reach, I'm quite happy with my one or two visits per day. I don't post often enough to warrant anything more than that.

I've written a short follow-up to this post, available here:

thanks, Rob

Sometime it makes you wonder if going for a properly sharpened straight razor and a real soap is really worth, or if you should start manifacturing disposable blades and crappy foam so that the people will keep on having to buy them and items to deal with the side effects of your bad products -- for the whole duration of their life

I always wondered why there was never a Web 2.1 or some such -- do people not like evolutionary steps?

There is... it's just not launched yet.

Maybe there is some natural limit(2.718...) and we shall never reach {profitability,semantic web,...} :)

After all, why bother waiting for 4.0 before producing its manifesto?

... When the fuck was 3.0?

Semantic web. It lasted about 10 minutes until those pushing it realized it was a folly.

Web 4.0 is the slightly square version of Web 2.0. It's Web 2.0 now that it is no longer hip.
