FYI, I just finished writing a breathless blog post on this topic, =20 including an enthusiastic endorsement of CouchDB: http://mooseyard.com/Jens/2009/02/what-will-web-30-be/ In a nutshell: My hope is that =93Web 3.0=94 (which I agree is a silly =20= term and an over-generalization) will center around the =20 decentralization of Web applications. Web 2.0 distributed content =20 production out to the end users, but the servers hosting the data and =20= the apps are still monolithic and proprietary. I've been hoping for a =20= long time that things can evolve in a more distributed (if not truly =20 peer-to-peer) direction, and CouchDB really seems like a big step =20 toward there. =97Jens=
