IT Nomenclature
Communicating through and about new technology can be fun, educational, and sometimes quite annoying. Those of you that know me have heard me say on more than one occasion how much I can’t stand buzzwords, and “Web 2.0″ is no exception. I’ve always had a hard time describing exactly why buzzwords bother me so much. I know it’s primarily that encapsulating broad, diverse, or even disparate concepts into a single phrase tends to be misleading, and often misused by those that do not understand the underlying concepts.
Whatever the reason, I read today (and nicely enough was personally referenced in) an article that opens the discussion on the “Web 3.0″ phrase, and presents a worthwhile plea to just stop the obsessive labeling already. Read it yourself: A Preemptive Strike: Death to Web 3.0 (and 2.0 while we’re at it)
