Google ends Web 2.0 era
Words by Daniel Aleksandersen on 2006-12-21
Just a quick note: Google have pulled Google Blogger out of beta. I think this really marks the end of the whole Web 2.0 era with it's endless beta
releases, and such…
It is time for something new! What will the Web 3.0 bring? Is it time for a Web for hand held device's revolution, perhaps? Social media with actual interaction with other human beings? Content provider submitted content in the user submitted content's spirit?

I honestly fail to see how proclaiming something as Blogger as "released" the end of the era?
I can definitively see the web more used on handheld devices, though.

I meant that now these Web applications have begun to be released as full versions. One of the key elements of social media and the Web 2.0 era where (well, are) releasing everything under the beta seal.
What I meat where that Google Blogger is the first application to leave the beta status, and a it represent thousands of blogs, another key element of social media, then maybe– Maybe the whole thing is over?

[…] Web Design Journal says Google has ended the Web 2.0 era by taking Blogger out of beta. Onward, they say, to Web 3.0! This is just wrong on many levels. First and foremost, Web 2.0 is a convenient label, not a real project with a clearly defined beginning and end. Though Google is a prominent practitioner of Web 2.0 voodoo, no single company can bring an end to the fuzzy conceptualization, and Web 3.0 doesn't necessarily follow (what happened to Web 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc.?)

Ah, so the beta seal had a say in the matter as well?
I kept seeing you go on about Web 2.0 being about user generated content and such.
But you do realize that taking Blogger off beta really changes nothing at all, other than that Blogger is now "done", as with WordPress releasing a final version, then consecutive updates?
