What happened to web 4?
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y ago
  Web 4 exclusively uses tachyon-based processing machines and hasn't been built yet.

    I hope they finally add the time travel extension to the TCP/IP standard.
- ButterWashed 4y ago
  They should align the Web version with IP and move straight onto v6 really...
- creeble 4y ago
  Same thing as web 2 and 3.
- pwdisswordfish9 4y ago
  No one wants to see a Web 4 skin Or something

Am I the only one who fails to see this “Web5” as anything but a marketing plot to make a product that is doing exactly what every other startup in Web3 is trying to do somehow stand out?
- freemrkt8 4y ago
  Yeah it’s all indirection to generate hype for a new way to manage electron state in a machine. You see, it is beneath Jack and Co. to participate in the real work of keeping themselves alive. Jack recently apologized for his role in centralizing the web but of course he’s going to be a part of the new protocol centralization effort.

  And, web3 is, what, "what if the web, but decentralized"? Yeah that ship sailed, we called it the internet. You probably haven't heard of it, it was before your time.

I'm more of a Web7 guy, personally. Web3 is the usual boring and useless stuff. Web5 is too bloated.

  It’s like Star Trek movies and Windows versions. Every other one is good.
- throwaway81523 4y ago
  I'm happy for web7's return to sanity. I could never remember the 32 digit hex url's in web6.
  - 2pEXgD0fZ5cF 4y ago
    Truly a hassle.
  - exclusiv 4y ago
    Definitely better than WEB6 also known as WEB2015
- greatgib 4y ago
  Good that you like web 7, because web 8 was censored by anti hate speech censorship laws!
- bitxbitxbitcoin 4y ago
  What about Web9? Oh yeah, I forgot… Web7-8-9.

Web 19 will be when they give up and just start serving html over http for restaurant websites again
- pwdisswordfish9 4y ago
  I don't know what web3 is going to be made of, but web4 will be made of sticks and stones

I hope Rolling Stones will be still around to lend their music for web95 media tour. Seeing how things are going (in rotten minds of marketing people), it's only few weeks away.

Never mind the almost unbearable cringe of incrementing a buzzword by not one, but two counts - do you have an explanation what exactly warrants this increment at all? The only thing in there that I don't remember as "web3" are the decentralized web nodes, and I'm not really sure whether those are new either. Not trying to be sarcastic, I think topics like DID are important, especially as BigTech looks set to try to kill passwords.

Do these guys realize the stupidity of their own comments and still do it to con the public/investors OR do they really genuinely believe in this bullshittery ?

  WebFibonacci seems like c => c++. Cute? Solving those problems is worthwhile though I've not checked if it solves for people's benefit, or for the benefit of business only.

They would have gone for Web4, but it was too square.
