The Web Versioning Race Goes On Friday 2006-01-20

Had i just hit the Publish button on a post, humbly ranting the 2.0.x suversioning of the buzzy new web, when I stumbled upon an article by Jeffrey Zeldman at A List Apart, with the scary title “Web 3.0“. I promise to read it and learn whats up the sleeves of the near future demon.

I expect that a googling for Web 4.5 will render some results already, but I daren’t try. I’m a fast learner, but not that fast.

[ Edit ] There’s a lot on peoples mind on this matter; In four days this article has gathered 67 more or less lenghty comments on the LA site – and certainly many more outside, like this one.

Jeffrey thinks the signal to noice level is to low, and that the real benefits of new technology and architecture will obscured by the hype and fuzz over web 2.0. I’m confident it will not, simply because the folks that make beautiful and usable software aren’t impressed by the hype and versioning race. The are too occupied with doing the voodoo that they do so well.
