Forget Web 2.0, Says Berners-Lee: "Web 1.0 Was Already All About Connecting People"

'Web 1.0 was all about connecting people,' Sir Tim Berners-Lee says, in a podcast currently available on the IBM developerworks site. 'It was an interactive space, and I think Web 2.0 is of course a piece of jargon, nobody even knows what it means. If Web 2.0 for you is blogs and wikis, then that is people to people. But that was what the Web was supposed to be all along.'

#4	saddino commented on the 23 Aug 2006 IMHO, the problem with the Semantic Web is the same problem that evolved the Web from a linked knowledge store to a commercial-driven directory. Yes, it would be nice if all data were tagged and understandable, but let's be honest: the commercialization (and its result: exploitation by marketers) of the web would certainly spill into the Semantic Web, and so Berners-Lee's vision would be once again ruined by 1) incorrect/misleading tagging, 2) competing standards and 3) out and out fraud.
#3	timeOday commented on the 23 Aug 2006 The Web itself has grown less semantic over time! The original idea for HTML was that you'd mark up content with a description of what it was, rather than how to display it. Then any device could use its "understanding" of the documented (conveyed for instance by paragraph tags) to render the page appropriately. This is an example of a (somewhat) semantic Web. That idea has been rejected. In the end most Web creators preferred convenience and/or exact control over appearance, in preference over the ability to use the data more flexibly.
#2	Enough Already! commented on the 23 Aug 2006 Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Web 3.0, Web 4.5...what does it matter: what's with version numbers on the Web, at this particular moment?
#1	FT Germany commented on the 23 Aug 2006 A dark side to the shiny new world of Web 2.0 is being exposed by virus writers and the internet security companies that counter them.
