Product Description
Product Description
Web 3.0 is a different way of building applications. Web 3.0 will ultimately be seen as applications which are pieced together. There are a number of characteristics: the applications are relatively small, the data is in the cloud, the applications can run on any device, PC or mobile phone, the applications are very fast and they're very customizable. Furthermore, the applications are distributed virally: literally by social networks, by email. You won't go to the store and purchase them. Web 3.0 delivers a very different application model than we've ever seen in computing.
Web 2.0 is well documented and talked about. The power of the Net reached a critical mass, with capabilities that can be done on a network level. We are also seeing richer devices and richer ways of interacting with the network, not only in hardware like game consoles and mobile devices, but also in the software layer. You don't have to be a computer scientist to create a program. We are seeing that manifest in Web 2.0 and 3.0 is a great extension of that, a true communal medium, the distinction between professional, semi-professional and consumers will get blurred, creating a network effect of business and applications.
This book that is highly recommended if you are looking to take your business to the next level of the social web: a place where being social is not merely an option but a requirement.

I am rarely moved to write reviews on here, but in this case it is totally necessary. I have never read such a badly written text. My first year undergraduates write very poorly at times, but even they write more clearly, with more focus, and with better basic grammar than Mr Harris.
If you can get past the convoluted and poorly structured narrative, then you'll find the content - but there is very little. Just a load of words put together in a pseudo random order on 148 pages. I'm not sure I found any mention of web 3.0 other than in the title. There is no evidence that Mr Harris has any authority on the subject, there are no references to other work (even though one section appears to be a book review).
I did wonder who would publish such a thing - but there is no publisher information in the book...
I really don't know what this book is... other than Mr Harris' thoughts put down on paper (with little thought), but it's certainly not worth the money. Please don't make the same mistake I did.

Mash Up Rubbish
6 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sorry, but this book is simply a mash-up of mostly nonsense which I suspect has been harvested off the internet. I bought it expecting some insights into Web 2.0 but I was disappointed. "Daniel Harris" or whatever the author(s) name is has got to be fake. The grammar and writing is so bad I suspect that "Daniel" is a second rate IT major in a developing country who creates spam in his spare time. Prove me wrong... I can't believe I wasted money on this.
Instead, buy Don Tapscott's excellent and well written book called "Grown Up Digital". It's much better. There's better information on Web 2.0 on wikipedia and related sites.

I whole heartedly agree with the above review. The sub-title "100 most asked questions..." is misleading seeing that most of the 100 chapters are even stated as questions, but are more as statements followed by info. This means the title is deceiving. The chapter titles are not even in a logical sequence, which makes for a very disorganized book. Unfortunately, as previously stated the biggest disappointment is the poor writing and the clear lack of editing. I am however available to edit this book and give the need attention it desperately needs for the right price. Then and only then can Amazon conscientiously ask for money from people for this book. Until then, do not buy this book!!!
