NEWSFLASH!

Has web 3.0 arrived? or should I say Web 3D?

If you see my links page to the right you will see a
new link called 3D internet. This exciting technology
was featured on today's sunrise program on channel 7.

Basically as far as I can tell it is a virtual 3D internet
browser called Exit reality. Where you can transform any
website into a virtual 3D website. Don't worry if you get lost
it is as easy as clicking a button to twitch back into the
normal 2D view that we are used to.

Is this the future revolutionary step to internet so
please download the program and explore and let me
know of your experience with this.

Please note the Exitreality program is only in beta format, so
it is certainly not the finished product.

Snail's thought of the day



Thinking back to the early days of the learning 2.0 course that the staff at our library (If you haven't already guessed the Snail works at a Australian library) have been undergoing for a while, one of the excellent video's that we watched (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g&feature=related) hinted that web 2.0 will force our society to rethink the way we do many things including copyright, commerce and even relationships. This has become apparent to The Snail as I have become more exposed to web 2.0 and even library 2.0 lately. For example I have come across official policy's from governmental institutions that are created in a blog format, so as to provide the functionality for people both internal and external to that institution comment on the contents.
