No idea about 1 and 2 but have a look here:

1) The internet
2) People trying to sell you a website
3) Scammers



Okay. Seriously, there wasn't a web1.0, except in retrospect.

Web 2.0 is a kind of second generation of the internet. Features of web 2.0 sitres might include community, user-submitted content, content sharing. Technologies might include the use of ajax, but that is not necessary. facebook, flickr, youtube would all be considered web 2.0, but remember that web 2.0 is a marketing slogan so anyone can call themselves web2.0 and most of them do.

There is no web3.0. Anyone who uses that term is trying to sell you something you don't need.

web 1.0 - first websites, mostly static html files
web 2.0 - interactive websites
web 3.0 - future web technologies; who knows what they will be

Um, AFAIK, there was no web 1.0. It just represents the time of the internet before web 2.0 became reality (as mentioned above, mainly static general web sites, etc).

Web 2.0 is currently the "standard" web tech dominating web applications - basically it refers to social networking, ie: as mentioned above, facebook, youtube, etc.

Web 3.0 is the next gen of typical web applications - there are rumours as to exactly what it entails, but the last I heard they are planning the whole remote appliance technology. In our words, providing an interface for your stove, fridge, bathtube, etc through the net. So you'll be able to connect remotely to your home. While this whole thing will still need to evolve, the basic principle is already in use.

In essence, the difference between the web versions is the web applications that are predominant. The technology used for developing and implementing the applications also changes, and this change is included in the whole shift between the different versions.

In my opinion the defining feature of "web 2.0" other than callouts, the mirror effect and dropping vowels is that the sites are basically all user generated content. (youtube, flickr, twitter, facebook, etc). Somehow this is all different to more oldschool stuff like forums, slashdot etc. (Slashdot is ancient, yet I doub't anyone would call it web 2.0. Digg is practically the same just with dumbed down comments but it's another top web 2.0 site)

You hit the nail on the head. Nice summary, although as everyone above has mentioned already there is no real such term as "Web 1.0"

These terms are widley used when we talk about URL or content filtering solutions. Allot of vendors are still trying or have just caught up to providing security for Web 2.0. This is because of the few technologies out there that can accomodate websites with user generated content and also Dynamic/Interactive websites.

The real bummer comes in when companies decide to use Facebook as a marketing mechanism, you now need to protect your employees from accessing malicious profiles that contain anything from destructive code/applicatiosn right down to unnsavoury/carnal content.

One word: VirtualBox

Whenever I need to run/access content that I'm not sure whether it is safe or not, I just take a snapshot of my VirtualBox installation and then access it from there. Even if it formats my PC, it doesn't matter. I just click "Revert to snapshot" and my machine is back to it's original state

Only problem with that is in the corporate world the end-user often is not wise enough to even know how VirtualBox would work...

Great for IT Admin, Very bad for End-Points.

Should be a way to add it to start-up or something. Make a login script to start Vbox fully loaded on startup so that the luser won't know the difference

Thing is, the web sits on top of the internet, so one can't really say it's next generation internet. Instead it was more or less correctly summarised by andres101.

Web 2.0 is cool, but it's also opened up a can of problems with how we handle those sites. Now everything is flashy, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's any better than a plain static HTML based page.

Um, here's a bit of constructive help:

Web 1.0 -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_1.0
Web 2.0 -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0
Web 3.0 -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-generated_content#Web_3.0

To pull quotes out of wikipedia (from the above mentioned articles), which I think summarizes everything nicely:

They can build on the interactive facilities of "Web 1.0" to provide "Network as platform" computing, allowing users to run software-applications entirely through a browser.[2] Users can own the data on a Web 2.0 site and exercise control over that data.[8][2] These sites may have an "Architecture of participation" that encourages users to add value to the application as they use it.[2][1] This stands in contrast to very old traditional websites, the sort which limited visitors to viewing and whose content only the site's owner could modify.

In Web 3.0, the vision of the intelligent web uses semantic web, microformats, data-mining, machine learning, intelligent agents, and artificial intelligence technologies. They emphasize machine-facilitated understanding of information in order to provide a more productive relevant and intuitive user experience.
