…a web 1 and a 2 and a 3, can’t we just skip to 4 already?
I’ve heard so much crap about “web 2.0″ being the next big thing the past couple of years that I just can’t deal with it anymore. Web 2.0 isn’t the next big thing, its the immediately previous thing. Its over, o-v-e-r. In a world where google’s stock price goes from 500 dollars a share in September to 700 dollars a share as I write this, it should be blatantly obvious that this is a fast moving world now. Business moves faster than ever before, the markets move faster, trends move faster, and yes, bubbles move faster. If you’re looking at a trend today and see that it has already entered the collective zeitgeist it probably means that the trend you’re looking at is already well underway, if not past it’s peak by now. What this means is that you need to ignore that train which just left the station and get a ticket on the next one. How do you know when the next train leaves?
