Web 3.0? Puh-lease.

I'm with VC and blogger Fred Wilson: Trying to define and label a Web 3.0 would be even more annoying than when that happened with Web 2.0.

Portfolio.com (that's us!), White & Case and Kompoz.com are sponsoring a "tech charity jam party" -- 7:30 pm, Oct. 16, at Rick Shaw Stop. Come watch a bunch of top tech industry characters play on stage together. I'll open the night with a few of my own tunes, backed by the White & Case house band.
