What is on Your Mind?

I am still curious what is actually meant by Web 2.0 in terms of the societal impact it was supposed to herald. Life would be awfully difficult without at least one email address and a mobile phone number. And before web 2.0 became a household name, most people had SMS to maintain contact with friends and family and it is still widely used today. Yet, none of these are considered components of Web 2.0.

The hallmarks of Web 2.0 are (1) rounded corners and (2) web apps which can modify a web page's contents without modifying the browser's history (so you cannot bookmark where you are or share a link).

At least that's what it means to me.

I'm eagerly anticipating Web 3.0, which is expected to be in 3D and will do away with the URL altogether.

Rarely... Youtube

I use only linkedin

Identi.ca, twitter and G+ with a smattering of Failbook and my own statusnet instance.

Haaa. Added Google+ to poll...

Personally, I never use it ... but that's just me...

How does one vote for "I don't have time, the nearest I have is www.unix.com" ?
