After posting yesterday, I realized that I hadn't expressed on opinion on whether \"Web 2.0\" is a good name despite it's inaccuracy. Hmm. Yeah, sure, whatever. \"++Web\" would be more universally accurate since the result could be a different number for everyone's local value of \"Web\", but that wouldn't be as widely understood. \"Web++\" looks a little better, but isn't accurate (\"increment Web and return the old value\"). \"Web+=1\" would also work, but is too verbose. But it's the only one of these ideas that could give way to the next improvement, which could be called \"Web+=2\"...except that since \"Web+=1\" changes the value of \"Web\", we'd have to agree that we were always adding to the version of Web just before the current one.<\/p>\n
So what's the answer? \"Web+1\", \"Web+2\", \"Web+3\", etc., where \"Web\" is always equal to the value just before the blogging and syndication boom.<\/p>\n
...the problem with that being that there's little chance that we'll agree on when a new technology or other shift merits moving to the next version. \"Is this Web+3 or just Web+2.1?\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
