Today CNET has a fun piece on the evolution of the internet where – partly I think just for effect – they use the increasingly incomprehensible numbering system for “Web 1.0, 2.0, etc” that is now thrown around without much regard to consistency or even comprehensibity.

I agree with the author that we should probably abandon the Webish numbering system in favor of some online characteristics and definitions that everybody can agree about and then use terms that actually have some real – and more importantly consistent – meaning behind them.
