@Elliot great question, “Should they skip 2.0 and go straight for 3.0?”. In short yes but they will fail. Big companies will take the big company approach to web 3.0 which is contradictory to what works. However IF they don’t give it a go the younger generations will own the space.

Nice post Ben. Started for under 20K actual cash maybe, but hundreds of thousands of dollars of unpaid/unrecorded human hours.

I have meet a few “egroups” (groups of evangelists) hard at it in their spare time to be the next iphone app hero or social network success. They are super fun and far ahead of their own time. They are almost inventing the future.

Here we are discussing web 3.0. But the majority of NZ’s biggest brands still haven’t grasped it (let alone the web). Should they skip 2.0 and go straight for 3.0?

Interesting thoughts.
Not sure the world will be quite as transformed as you believe in a mere 3 years time and certainly won’t ever be for all sections of humanity. But, within certain niche markets (IT being the first and obvious one) I think you’re onto it.

However the cry won’t be “How small are you?” but, “How connected are you?”
