Its a marketing term in the same way web 2 is. That doesn't mean it isn't something new and useful though, just like web 2 was.

- vkkhare 5y agoWeb 2 as a term itself was coined much later when people needed to distinguish web 3 from status quo
- lowkey 5y agoFor users Web1: read only Web2: read-write Web3: read-write-own
- vkkhare 5y agoThis is a very cool description! Hits to the point
- giantrobot 5y ago> Web3: read-write-own Web3: read slowly - write slowly - vague claims of "ownership" limited to particular blockchains each with no authority over anything off-chain. But hey, smart contracts allow a long chain of intermediaries to bleed a percentage off all transactions.
- ryan93 5y agopeople enjoy reading and writing more than they care about owning their data. I don’t care if my Amazon purchase history is on Amazon servers or mine.
- tim333 5y agoHow do I own? I mean I realise I can buy NFTs which I guess are "web3" but then I can buy a bunch of stuff on the normal web including stock in facebook etc.
- capnorange 5y agobuying a stock on web2 vs web3 gives interesting properties because of ownership. for ex: take an instant USD loan on your stock, since you are the owner only your authority(signature) is needed. In web2 world you go through middlemen.
- kyruzic 5y agoYour stock is not hosted on the web.
- vkkhare 5y agoI do care if that data gets leaked or if that data is used by third party companies for things I have bought and I do not want them to know. Why should a bank do my credit scoring based on my what am watching on Amazon or what books am I reading
- okasaki 5y agoThis is a nonsense meme. I used web message boards like ezboard in 1996.
- timeon 5y agoWeb1 was not read only. If we do not consider things Geocities - phpBBs and others were before web2.
- togaen 5y agoWrong. The term “Web 2.0” was coined back in 1999.
- grepfru_it 5y agoWeb 3.0 was used by Tim Lee back in 2006 [0]. I believe the semantic web (Web 3.0) was coined back in '99 0 - https://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/23/technology/23iht-web.html https://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/23/technology/23iht-web.html
- manojlds 5y agoMost definitely not. Web 2 has been in use as a term for a long while before crypto came knocking.
- hatchnyc 5y agoMost revolutionary/generational tech has started with an implementation or at least a proof of concept of something new and novel that subsequently drove interest in how it worked. Like Google Maps use of AJAX for infinite scrolling or Napster and peer to peer networks, or even Bitcoin and blockchain. I’m not aware of any such example for Web3.
- vkkhare 5y agoI believe edge computing is one of the game changing technologies for the decade. I am not sure if it can fall under the purview of Web 3 or not. For example one of the library I implemented was along training ML models on user devices instead of the cloud maintaining privacy and personalization. https://github.com/NimbleEdge/RecoEdge https://github.com/NimbleEdge/RecoEdge
- basch 5y agoDecentralized identity. Having an on chain address, and its holdings as your username + public assets. It's past proof of concept. It has not propagated to become commonly accepted yet.
