Paul Golding commented on Web 3.0 @membrado - good point, although we are trying to define it in advance, unlike Web 2.0, which emerged as a collection of essentialised memes. In which case, I think it likely that Web 3.0 will be a collection of memes too - I applaud @Johannes effort for putting due emphasis on the business model aspect - after all, a LOT of people are on the web to make money. Interestingly, in the dominant Web 2.0 narratives, no one really pointed out that a key feature of Web 2.0 was that the web had become a marketplace. Perhaps this underlines the technological bias of its architects - which also applies to the two favoured definitions that you mention. 10 months ago
Paul Golding commented on Web 3.0 @membrado - I see this vision as exploring the ’user-generated business’ meme, which is worth exploring. However, as with all these things, I think it’s going to be a bit tough to use slideshare comments to conduct the conversation. 10 months ago
Paul Golding commented on Web 3.0 @metman you have a point, but isn’t it better to synthesize your obvious expertise in ’Semantic Web’ with this meme? I see Johannes slides as positing a vision for Web 3.0. However, it is just an aspiration - ’user-generated business’ - with not enough flesh behind the phrase. The content flood that you refer to is problematic because we can’t filter it very effectively - hence the need for better semantics. In my industry (Mobile) there are now thousands of industry commentators and mobile ’experts’ - but it is very difficult to know who are the real thought leaders - there’s too much noise on Twitter, blogs, slideshare. The market for ideas is so open that anyone can put their voice forward. There seems to be an obsession with quantity, not quality, and this is drowning out the useful content, or making it hard to find. We need mechanisms to understand and filter quality. Isn’t this part of the Semantics vision? Don’t we need semantical mechanisms in place to help us discern the ’meaning’ of the data - its usefulness and so on - in order that we can add a premium to content and therefore charge for it according to its value and scarcity. Without this, we don’t have a way to discern value in the marketplace, so the ’user-generated business’ model can’t progress, perhaps. 10 months ago
Paul Golding commented on How Companies Can Position In New Mobile Internet Models Great presentation - ’because effect’ is very interesting. I’m still trying to appreciate the village green point. Perhaps you can elaborate or point me to another posting with more details. Thanks. 2 years ago
Paul Golding commented on Decided To Mobilise? How to Engage with the Mobile Internet User. If you want to see a presentation that could be a ’Part 2’ of this story, then I suggest visiting http://www.slideshare.net/barbaraballard/going-mobile-choosing-target-devices-platforms 2 years ago
