O.K. So I've been thinking about this for a while and finally decided to put my thoughts to blog.
You know how the web is considered by most to be the 'read/write' web? I don't think that is applicable any more and would like to offer a new paradigm. I think we need to view the web as 'cubed'. Instead of 'read', we should look at 'consume', because, let's face it we don't only 'read' on the web anymore since 'read' implies text. As for 'write', we should look at 'contribute', since again, 'write' implies text and we now have the ability to 'write' images, videos, audio, etc. And we have a new component -- 'collaborate', since so many of the new applications are social in nature and provide the ability to work with others.
So here's my new slogan: 'Web 'Cubed' -- consume, contribute, collaborate'. [And if anyone can figure out how to get the exponent '3' onto a blog, PLEASE let me know!] [Actually I would like to see it 'Web', then the letter 'C', then the exponent '3'. Help!]
What are your thoughts on this?

Nancy,
I LOVE YOUR POST!!!! I reread it twice and just laughed. You are so right, the web is cubed. We don't read we consume. I love it!! You are so right! I can't wait to read your next post!

Nancy,
Your post was great! It is definatley an interesting point of view. Great way to look at it, like the "cubed" idea.
