Everybody is talking about Web 2.0 – Ajax, webservices and a thousand more buzzwords make the blogs headlines. But it is time for Web 3.0, or better Web 4.0 because there´s no linear progression in the way the internet gets deeper into our lives.

What we are experiencing at the moment with Web 2.0 is the beginning of the „humanizing“ of the internet: social software gives people a voice, individuals are using the web expressing themselves to the whole world, web interfaces are getting easier so that more and more people are able to use it.

But the future will bring us more individualization and more live communication. Take skype for example – they´ve started with audio but their future will be video live conferencing – on your mobile, everywhere. This is important: with the technology to have IP Networks everywhere there will raise new markets people can work in: From your personal fitness trainer, who advises you with your fitness excercises at home, to the professional cook, who you can book online to help you at your birthday meal in the kitchen – live via videoconferencing – the web will be the enabler to bring humans together everywhere in the world. Helpdesks for software-support will be normal – on a click you´ll get LIVE, PERSONAL advise from a helpdesk-staff, who will be able to help you with your computer problems – be it from india or any other place in the world. So this all has consequences. First of all the traffic will raise in an unbelieveable speed. This means demand for more and more hardware ressources: go! Invest in cisco! Secondly there´ll be a great demand for synchronization: there´ll be no more difference between mobile internet, wifi, or hardwire – take google for example: they are building the first free wifi network! This means, that you will have access to your data everywhere, anytime. You´ll use your private profile to pay your parking space, to buy your books, to get your seats of your shared car into the saved positions. Third, everything will be „on demand“: videos, eBooks, psychological help, netdoctors, financial consulting: from humans to humans.

Let´s call it the „rules of the small“: some big companies will enable all the small ones to do their business: amazon will develop from a „vendor“ to an „enabler“ a „connector“, connecting humans to create new marketspaces through conversations AND trust. Doctors will use conversation-places to be connected to their patients – and they are able to chose between the most trustworthy doc´s. Millions of computer experts will be able to help you with your computer problems. This is why eBay bought skype, and this is why Google makes free wifi: control the communication of the individuals, and you have business model of he future.

….and yes: there will be 1.000.000 same jokes 😉

I recently changed th HD of my ibook on my own – I now got a VERY good HOW – TO from Jarno – thx! http://www.muumilaakso.fi/%7Ejristani/blog/wp-content/HowToChangeHD_iBookG4.pdf

Damn cool Ajax Search Interface: INQUISITOR

epyx is a software for PC only (ugh) which enables your mobile phone to communicate with your bluetooth enabled PC and make calls thorugh skype – the software only works if one is using a Widcomm Bluetooth Stack, which is explainable through the fact that skype will use your mobile as Audio in/out (or Headset). This also means there will be no possibillty to use your mobiles`phonebook – that´s a pity. I`m missing a piece of J2ME software which enables deeper (any) PC (Mac) to (any) mobile connection!

Now they´re online: openbc, the big european social-networking company got a blog – congrats to Björn, who has done a great job 🙂

I personally like the idea of having a direct view behind the scenes of interesting companies. And yes: the team photos are cute 🙂

From this article from the New York Times:

Native leaders do not want viewers to see the animals shot and butchered during a fall subsistence hunt, fearing widespread Internet images could threaten the tradition.

Mmmh….. they should rather think of turnig off this strange „tradition“, damn…

Can´t find words…

I got nothing to add:

Dear Mr. Bush:

Any idea where all our helicopters are? Or all that CP Tech: shop here and get prepared to what we have now, right? It’s Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.

Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren’t there to begin with?

Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn’t want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don’t like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!

I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don’t let people criticize you for this — after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?

And don’t listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers‘ budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn’t cut the money to fix those levees, there weren’t going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them — BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!

On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn’t stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that.

There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.

No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It’s not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C’mon, they’re black! I mean, it’s not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don’t make me laugh! Race has nothing — NOTHING — to do with this!

You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.

Yours,

P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your ranch. She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the way. Maybe you can catch up with them before they get to DC on September 21st.
