Winning the Web 3.0 Contest by Read Write Web
This page is more of a historical account, rather then a deeper exploration into the topic. In 2007, I saw this page on readwriteweb: The post was a discussion of something I have been passionate about for a long time (mid-90’s), the web. ReadWriteWeb was running a contest asking users to define what web 3.0 […]
