The First Web 3.0 Interface Launches! Anyone Have a LOLCAT?
Now, before we get into this article, I would ask that each of you remain calm, cool and collected. This is not your normal post on CN. This is an exciting moment. I have for you, the first ever, Web 3.0 interface!
Brought to us by CMP and their Internet Evolution team, this Web 3.0 interface is named, "The Wisdom of Clouds". So it seems that Web 3.0 is popups, moveable Web pages and men who popup and talk to us. And here I thought Web 3.0 was going to be better than Web 2.0.
The man explains that this Wisdom of Clouds is a way to use the tools provided to "float through the clouds to find what you are looking for". It’s also a virtual interface allowing you to navigate graphically. Where is a LOLCAT when you need one?
Here is what Stephen Saunders, Internet Evolution’s Founding Editor had to say on the launch, "Every day, Internet Evolution publishes at least three new blogs about the future of the Internet. After only two months, we found that our users needed a new and more efficient way to tap into the ideas on the site. We’re calling our new interface ‘The Wisdom of Clouds’ as an ironic homage to James Surowiecki’s ‘The Wisdom of Crowds,’ which we happen to think is complete nonsense. And we’re referring to it as a ‘Web 3.0′ interface because we know it will really annoy all the alleged experts who talk pretentious twaddle about the Internet and its various iterations."
I, for one, am excited to be part of this moment in Internet history.
In the Web 3.0 world, trolls and snark will move from comment section to being full-fledged inaccessible pop-up-window-based sites?
In other news, I, for one, am clearly dumber for having visited the Wisdom of the Clouds.
Maybe lolinator for web 3.0 if you like the lolcats.

This is stupidest interface I’ve ever seen. It’s not rich, it’s not even very useful.
Weak. Try Web 0.5, you still have 2.5 more to go.
Amazing!
It will all be in Web3D.0!!

Cheers! Billy ;))
With tears in my eyes, I write this post. After almost 14 years pioneering web interfaces, I have to put my tools away. I can’t compete any more – this is just … wow, I’m breathless.
My friends what we have here is something beyond words, simply flabbergasting.
Wow …
Does web 3.0 mean hard to navigate and find the information you need? Its never good when you have to watch a video to understand the navigation.
Allen I think you missed the mark here. Did you drink too much coffee this morning?
For a minute I was excited about the wisdom of clouds. After a couple of minutes that excitement was gone. Wisdom of clouds seems clunky and lacking lacking of utility.
