Less than a week to go before
‘Transform | Transition | Transcend’
In my micro blog ‘bio’ gets replaced with my three words for 2022!
87 to go.
… and then we’ll reset the target.
… wonder when that will be?

“Data out earlier this week from Cloudflare revealed that TikTok is now the most popular online destination globally, ahead of Google for the first time.”
The Information
I don’t know where to start ….

A flying start for the nascent micro blog reading club - have you flagged your interest yet?
I guess the plural of shopper is correct if you count the person at the back on the left.
Let’s Pretend the Last 20 Years Never Happened
“I would take web3 bros more seriously if they didn’t act like the last 20 years of democratization of art and opportunity never happened.”

“I have to pay a debt."
At least according to the 245 (and counting) email messages received this morning.
Time to kill that Text Expander snippet.
The one that is reminding us of the upcoming meeting in February 2018!
I wish that were true - it just isn’t.
The videos are at times absolutely mesmerising, nice to see them all curated in one place. But viewing on a phone does not do justice!

When the post ‘?’ crud in the URL is ten times as long as the URL.
That’s well beyond the line that I draw.
Remember the ‘Semantic Web’?
Don't you get fed up with the alphabet soup of tech terms that people introduce into our daily conversation?
It gets worse …they then go on to use terms that most people can’t understand to ‘explain’ what they are talking about!
And even when we do get simple language it still doesn’t get there … because we essentially use product descriptions and features and don’t describe the benefits to ordinary people.
Take Web 3.0 .. please!
If you read the interwebs you would think that a new religion came of age in 2021. Google Trends tells a different story.
So when you are next reading about Web 3.0, forget about Crypto, Algorithms, DIDs, Sovereign Identity, NFTs, Wallets, Coins, Blockchains - and all of the rest of it. Just know that IF we get Web 3.0 right … and it is far from clear we will - but if we do …. then it is the start of finally realizing the value that everybody expected back when this web thing started.
I thought this was an interesting little doohickey that you might find an interesting explanation - though I have some issues with a few of them.
Behavioural Advertising for example. God I hope not. I wish it read 'Intent Casting' - but that's an idea that doesn't seem to have arrived in the mainstream.
And despite Zuckerberg's best attempts Blogs are not going away.
But more importantly, some of the thinking is just BAU!
One of the most important things I would add is that Web 1.0 was 'pipes', Web 2.0 is really all about platforms. Web 3.0 is all about protocols. That's one of the People First Tenets!
