Goodbye x.0

In recognition of the divisive and increasingly meaningless nature of x.0 monikers — think library 2.0 and the web 2.0 that inspired it — I’m doing away with them.

When Jeffrey Zeldman speaks with disdain about the AJAX happy nouveaux web application designers and the second internet bubble (and he’s not entirely off-base) and starts claiming he’s moving to Web 3.0, then it’s a pretty clear sign that we should give up on trying to version all this.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s something big going on, but it doesn’t respect version numbers and it isn’t about AJAX or social software. And as much as designers and developers want to take credit, we cant. I’m not the first to say it, but let me repeat it without the baggage of these x.0 monikers: people are making the internet a part of their daily lives and in doing so it is changing us. With or without a label, that’s what we need to talk about.

    This Week in Library 2.0

    [...]Library 2.0 has been described as a reaction to a crisis, a crisis created by the Web and the astonishing success of search services from the likes of Google and Yahoo. The fact is that with or without the label, libraries are being forced to rethink how they do business. As Casey Bisson noted this week, “people are making the internet a part of their daily lives and in doing so it is changing us.” This is not a Library 2.0 question. It’s more general than that. Libraries as a whole need to respond, no matter the label this response falls under.[...]

    [...] It can be hard for library folk to imagine that the web development world might be as divided about the meaning and value of “Web 2.0” as library folk are about “Library 2.0,” but we/they are. Take Jeffrey Zeldman’s anti-Web 2.0, anti-AJAX post, for instance. Zeldman’s a smart guy, and he’s not entirely off-base, but let’s not confuse his argument. What you don’t see him suggesting is that we abandon the web. And he certainly hasn’t packed up shop. [...]
