O’Reilley is with coining the word Web 2.0, he is regarded as one of the foremost Internet thinkers, hot on his heels is UK Webmaster forums member Marketraise who published his manifesto for Web 3.0 a few but recently followed that up with a Web 4.0 manifesto, excerpts from Marketraise Web 4.0 manifesto follows.

I had previously posted articles on web 2.0 and web 3.0.The responses were quite similar.When I posted with web 2.0 the response was web 2.0 is finished and web 3.0 is in trend. When I posted on web 3.0 the response was web 4.0 is the current brand in software. This meandering article doesn’t really offer much in terms of defining what these various Web stages are.
I’ll give it my shot:
Web 1.0 was the Hypertext/CGI Web. (the basics)
- Web 2.0 is the Community Web (for people: apps/sites connecting them).
- Web 3.0 is the Semantic Web (for machines).
Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 are a fork we are moving into now, where one is focused on internet architectures for people/community/usability and the other is focused on internet architectures for machines.
