At the Web 2.0 Expo program the issue of "Web" version control was one of the hot debates, according to this article in the SFGate:
And that leads one to wonder about the Web 2.0 name.
A lot of people ask when are we going to name it Web 3.0," said Jennifer Pahlka, Web 2.0 Expo program co-chair. "We will have to change the name at some point. It will not be Web 3.0, but something that will reflect this community of developers and entrepreneurs.
O'Reilly said he toyed with naming the second Web 2.0 conference in 2005 "Web 2.1," but thankfully avoided that numerical nomenclature.
John Battelle, who leads the program at the conferences, said keynote speaker, Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, feels like things are early enough in the Internet's potential that he asked, "When are you going to name it Web 0.2? He doesn't think we're at 2.0 yet.
O'Reilly said the building blocks of Web 2.0 can be traced to Tim Berners-Lee, who is credited with inventing the World Wide Web. "Web 2.0 and Web 1.0 are the same thing," he said. "Web 1.5 was different. That was about a race for eyeballs, like network television. Web 2.0 is just a rediscovery of Tim Berners-Lee's original vision.
Does it really matter at the end of the day if it's Web 10,000.0? The thing that's more important is that this time around lots more people are talking and their conversations are not filled with hubris, but rather honesty and community.
Web 2.0 or 3.0...
The stats very clearly show that less then 1% of web users do things like build personal profiles while 99% browse. On youtube, much less then 1% actually make and upload videos while more then 99% watch....dont drink the koolaid because nothing has changed. People basically like to watch, just like they did 70 year ago when TV first came out.

Perhaps less than 1% - that's very believable, but the trend is up and more people are "publishing" something, anything, online.
Personally, I mainly browse as well!
