Unlike web1 and web2, web3 is a grift. In contrast, this appears to be a genuinely innovative technology.

Web 1.0 is Star Wars.

Web 2.0 is The Empire Strikes Back.

Web 3.0 is The Room.

Web 3.0 is The Phantom Menace.

Alright, but if you can use that ethos to argue that e-mail, Bittorrent and IRC are the future I'm going to look at you funny.

I'd like to think email, irc, and bittorrent will still be around far into the future, at least.
