Honestly, I think people don't seem to want to look at how people actually are actually going to USE web 2.0 stuff.

Most people are not going to understand using the web for their applications, rather then just using the stuff that's on their computer. The medium is just a wrong environment for some apps. Why do I need Writely when I have Word sitting on my desktop? Do I actually care that I have access to my docs from everywhere, when my normal routine of work is to sit down at my computer? What does doing my work in the web cloud offer me, that a web-enabled Word app can't provide?

It seems like we suddenly decided that the web rules for EVERYTHING and thus every single pathetic little application has to now be web-based, regardless of function. Does the web cloud offer content and resources a "non-internet-enabled" app doesn't have? Of course. But it makes less sense to me to have to log into a website to perform a basic function then to find an app in 2 clicks on my computer via the Start Menu.

So in short, Web 2.0 authors really need to think about why doing a certain function on the web is better then doing it offline in a regular program. Because without that differentiation, Web 2.0 will die.

The future is Web 0.76 Beta!

Were still working out some of the complexities of displaying web pages over the internet correctly.

So far, as a result of the efforts of our software developers we have managed to create a massive online social network of people united in a single cause.

We're not sure what their cause is as none of the computers in our office will display the forums properly.

Anyway I'm sure it's a worthy thing.

Anyway, must go. I've got a new product we're developing to go and test called the M-Phone, it's really quite brilliant and runs on our new mobile operating system; W-MX 10.5.

How do we think of these things!!!

Anyway, ta ta.

How about web 3.0?

In May 2007, Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google said "If I were to guess what Web 3.0 is, I would tell you that it's a different way of building applications... My prediction would be that Web 3.0 will ultimately been seen as applications which are pieced together. There are a number of characteristics: the applications are relatively small, the data is in the cloud, the applications can run on any device, PC or mobile phone, the applications are very fast and they're very customizable. Futhermore, the applications are distributed virally: literally by social networks, by email. You won't go to the store and purchase them... That's a very different application model than we've ever seen in computing."

OK, "a new set of industry buzzwords."

How about "mashable" or "read/write web"? Wait, those are the names of blogs, which are so web 2.0...

I know, why don't we call them "websites", or is that pushing the envelope just a bit too much?

Or let's just call them whatever the guy with the money wants them to be called which is kind of what it's all about (feeling a touch cynical today).

Try this:

DisruptWare

A lot of VCs are looking for "disruptive technology" - something that when embraced by tha masses will significantly change the way most people do *something*

Like, cellular communications started out as disruptive technology;

In fact, the Internet itself stated out as disrutive technology (if people still remember Archie, Gopher and then Mosaic).

And, consequently, here is the role that will become most sought for in DisruptWare startups:

Chief Disruption Officer...

How about these

IntelliSourcing
Web2.5
Network Bridging
Commutiny Communication Commerce(In short COMM3)

I don't know exaclty what does each of these terms mean. But if anyone of these become buzz-words, or if you people decide to give these words a shot in your business plans, do give me a mention/royality there
Thanks

How about this one -

Cloudware - apps and services that once would have run on a desktop operating system now run in the cloud: unbounded, evershifting, intangible collection of servers that make up the internet.
