only the wiki entry you quote has this to say about Web 3.0:
On the other hand, the term Semantic Web (sometimes referred to as Web 3.0) was coined by Berners-Lee to refer to a web of content where the meaning can be processed by machines.
- mikelockz 7y agoWeb3 (not Web 3.0) is how browsers communicate with the data that is not hosted on a web server, but rather on a decentralized blockchain. This means that these things are resistant to censorship.
- oefrha 7y agoDapps advocates decided to squat the “Web 3.0” name at some point without asking any web people AFAIK. Indeed the technology usually isn’t even HTTP/WWW-based, so calling it Web x.y is kind of a head scratcher. An uncharitable take is to piggyback on an actually successful technology (despite not having much semblance) to lend themselves legitimacy. A sibling comment claims that it’s Web3, not Web 3.0 (as if it’s meaningfully different), but “Web 3.0” has definitely been used a lot by dapp advocates; evidence abound. Maybe they have since decided that “Web 3.0” is a tad too ridiculous and is now rallying under the “Web3” banner instead. I wouldn’t know.
