I had a conversation with a buddy of mine today and we were talking about what the next wave of the Internet will look like. I told him that I believed that Web 3.0 will be a lot easier to define than Web 2.0. Web 3.0 will be the convergence of web and mobile and consumer adoption of GPS web-enabled smart phones. I will prognosticate more in a future post.

My buddy then asked me how I would describe Web 2.0…I said, “It’s a lot more difficult to define, however I saw it as the departure from a static informational WWW to a dynamic one.” In other words, a website went from being informational to being a full blown communications tool. That may be over simplified, but I’m sure you get the point. Not only has development dramatically evolved, but Websites now communicate/touch a company’s prospects in myriad ways.
Web 2.0 connected people in a virtual way; Web 3.0 will bring them back together physically. Web 3.0 will be a marketer’s paradise. Lots more on the subject coming soon.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
