What’s with the web 2.5 thing?

That 2.5 badge at top means that hopefully some of the scrappy upstarts on this site will be what makes web 3.0 happen.

The inspiration for this site came form a recent Kevin Rose, the young founder of Digg, video blog post. Rose points out that the darlings of Web 2.0 like digg, were actually started very early on, in the last web cycle certainly before web 2.0 had been identified. They were able to gain traction and be seen as leaders by the time the web 2.0 nomenclature took.

Kevin believes starting up now before the “next big web 3.0 push” could make all the difference in what sites make it and what sites don’t.

Whatever comes next in terms of web 3.0 will probably be born out of these economic times and in this upstart web 2.5 world.

Require even more reassurance you’re on the right track with starting up in a down time? Take a look at Bill Graham’s article Why to Startup in a bad Economy.
