Finally a Definition of Web 3.0 - It Includes a Van

It seems like the latest trend is to try and define “Web 3.0.” Well, they should give-up because two young web entrepreneurs have already figured it out.
So what does Web 3.0 include?
- A used van
- A wireless laptop
- A GPS tracker
- Video camera
- Just about every social networking tool you can think of
The result is Road Trip 2.0–shouldn’t that be 3.0? Alexi and Ben are traveling the entire country in a van and will cover 12,000+ miles in just six weeks. Along the way, they plan to interview as many geeks as they can–leave them a comment if you want to be included.
Here’s my interview with my good friend Ben Wills. I discuss reputation management and my essential list of gadgets.

The audio is a bit difficult to follow. Too much echo, but I found the interview fascinating. Yes, I can see that for you it is a labor of love. I am also happy that you are about to publish a book. I look forward to it. As a Customer Satisfaction evangelist I also found your comments very apt.

It was definitely great to be able to sit down with you before leaving the good ol’ Triangle!
And as far as Web 3.0, I’m thinking it involves satellite internet/cell phones, constant GPS updating, targeted/localized advertising on my satellite phone (At 5 pm, start showing me ads for the best dinner restaurants…at 8pm, start showing me ads for the best pubs and clubs…as I’m driving/riding around, show me restaurants and ratings nearby - let me set a threshold for some sort of audio alerts…), and a wifi hotspot locater showing me signal strength and accessibility.
You’d be surprised how hard it is to find things like open wifi hotspots and a good, local restaurant, pub, or club!

oh, again…
juts got rid of web2.0 hype and now this one, but, number of people making fun of web2.0 was huge, and almost everyone admits that web2.0 is not a standard, not a level, nothing, just a hype.
i hope no people take web3.0 seriously and will just pass it.
