Yes, Web 1.0 included information flow from browser to web-site (eCommerce, webmail, and webforums) but the duplex flow didn't have the purpose of explicitly connecting the browser users or taking advantage of multiple users at the same time. The relationships were, essentially, many to one.

Web 1.0 that takes advantage of the distributed user base and duplex communication to achieve emergent capability not possible through the standard, simplex, server-browser model. This implies some use of active content and possibly applications served through the browser (usually executed on the client's computer). Web 2.0 is web-server moderated many to many relationships. > * What will follow? Web 3.0? Seriously, the next step will be a peer-to-peer web. This will converge chat/IM, peer-to-peer file transfers, and web-server/browser capabilities. This will require new protocol specifications and software that combine the various components. None of the existing mechanisms will provide all the capability. Essentially, the browser will morph into a combined browser/server with peer-to-peer capability and standard plug-ins (or APIs) that integrate other applications such as chat/IM/VOIP. One will browse the web, still, but what one sees, hears, types and speaks will travel via other users and will not be moderated by servers. Security and privacy will be interesting. > * Is there anything worth mentioning in between? Web 2.1 through 2.9 - basically variants on existing protocols and standards that mash up the individual components of Web 3.0 until a fully capable protocol/standard emerges. Some of the in-between already exists in the form of apps like Google: Earth/Sky - web but not web. > * What can your share about your profession? I'm not a cracker, but I play one on TV?
