"Compensation: no pay"

CalmQuiet• 17 years ago

The subtext: Perks -> Lots of time for unsupervised web surfing ;)

fallentimes2• 17 years ago

I would pay to hear their definitions of Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0.

The marketers got em good.

vaksel• 17 years ago

Web 1.0: Regular website

Web 2.0: Regular website with social functions

Web 3.0: Regular website with social functions and iPhone etc capability

Web 4.0: Virtual Reality

Web 5.0: Virtual Reality with iPhone capability

fallentimes2• 17 years ago

"Web 1.0" sites had social functions.

And I said "their" not "your" :).

I remember when Java first came out there were ads looking for "7 years Java experience"

arien2• 17 years ago

Same thing with .NET. When I see these things I wonder, is it that recruiters really have no clue of what they are asking or are they doing it to "catch" the kind of people who like to bluff/lie on their resume?

xenophanes• 17 years ago

If your way to catch cheats makes everyone competent avoid you, then it's not worth it.

byrneseyeview• 17 years ago

Given how many programmers are out there, it wouldn't be too beneficial to create a job posting that catches, a couple dozen at a time, the job-seekers who are padding their credentials.

And some of the applicants are presumably thinking something like "I'm as familiar with this as I'd need to be to perform the job. And I'm not going to mouth off to HR about how they don't know how long Java has been in existence. So I might as well apply."

jrnkntl• 17 years ago

I miss the: "Being a social media expert is a pre".

russell• 17 years ago

"previous marketing experience": make up a good enough definition and you've got the job.

DanielBMarkham2• 17 years ago

We're only doing Web 4.0 development now. 3.0 was so --- outre.

foulmouthboy• 17 years ago

Eff it. I'm going to 6. Web 6.0!

brlewis• 17 years ago

Oh yeah? My web goes to eleven.

YOU are the Appliance. YOU are Web 3.0.

ivankirigin• 17 years ago

You've got to get on Web Magenta. The number based scheme is so outdated.

DanielBMarkham2• 17 years ago

We're moving to colors next year, but heard that Magenta had a lot of problems with plaids.

Right now we're looking for developers who have experience in Web Fucia, preferably using Hot Toddy with Lemon Slices.

These guys must have some sort of top secret crystal ball.

Anyone bothered to email them asking for lotto numbers?

volida• 17 years ago

Everobody skips 4 when naming versions.

Xichekolas• 17 years ago

No one likes a composite number.

nihilocrat• 17 years ago

I did this a few months ago and wrote it down, so the numbers might be a bit off by now:

  Google results for "Web x.0":
  "web 1.0" : 989,000
  "web 2.0" : 81,800,000
  "web 3.0" : 2,070,000
  "web 4.0" : 102,000
  "web 5.0" : 25,700
  "web 6.0" : 41,300
  "web 7.0" : 12,000
  "web 8.0" : 8,190
  "web 9.0" : 2,030
  "web 10.0" : 5,260
  "web 11.0" : 392,   # meaningless results
  "web 12.0" : 1,220, # meaningless results

"web 2.1" : 109,000 "web 2.2" : 28,30 "web 3.1" : 24,800 ....

c1sc0• 17 years ago

I worked on "Web 3.0" for over one year, and I'm still not sure what it was all about ;-)

kwamenum86• 17 years ago

Web marketing phrasology has broken the threshold and commenced 3.0!

When Web 2.0 companies just don't seem to cut it go Web 3.0!

Stellar!

wallflower• 17 years ago

The better definition I have heard of technology cycles (via Jared Spool). The numbers do not map to Web 2.0.

The first generation (1.0) is all the technology. "Hey, check out out my Motorola cellular phone. It weighs 5 pounds and is a true portable"

The second generation (2.0) is all about the features. "Text messaging, pictures, ringtones, games, address book, MP3 player, J2ME, comes in pink"

The third generation (3.0) is all about the user experience. The iPhone

physcab• 17 years ago

I totally want to get certified in Web 3.0.

lallysingh• 17 years ago

I'm still at Web 1.77.

Been working my way up to 2, but the new DOM's a bitch.

EGF• 17 years ago

Certifications only $19.95 but if you act now you get 2-1 certifications in web 4.0 too!

albertsun• 17 years ago

Duh, Web 3.0 is "internet appliances".

You can send your dirty dishes and laundry off to the internet to get washed.

kajecounterhack• 17 years ago

Right, just stick them into the tubes!

pierrefar• 17 years ago

Which can get clogged up with crappy posts like the OP, and then everyone slows down to look.

Vipsy• 17 years ago

But if you send clean dishes and clothes, they will become dirty !!

tlrobinson• 17 years ago

If by "advanced knowledge" they mean "can see into the future" then it at least sort of makes sense.

parenthesis• 17 years ago

But that's advance knowledge, not advanced knowledge.

Dilpil• 17 years ago

This post most likely does not actually represent a real management position.

"Mr Data, Take us out at Web 3.0....... Engage!"

How long until the web 3.0 ninja listing is spotted?

noonespecial• 17 years ago

You don't spot ninja listings, they spot you.

Hang on, we haven't had 2.5 yet

martythemaniak• 17 years ago

Dammit, and here I am still new to my Web 2.5 Code Terrorist job

kailashbadu• 17 years ago

Apparently, Web 3.0 is the logical progression of web 2.0 for a generation of recruiters who picked the impression that the higher the version tag, the better a system is. Reckless protologism ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neologism#Protologism) rampant in blogosphere is to be blamed, to an extent.

puzzle-out• 17 years ago

Well, I guess there is some justice - if you put out bullshit job descriptions, you should only get bullshit applicants.

snorkel• 17 years ago

I installed web 3.0 but it crashes whenever my hyperspace drive goes into warp mode so I downgraded back to web 2.6 until the service patch is released.
