Intelligence Amplification is too long. It also is not necessarily amplifying intelligence. In many cases it amplifies stupidity. Web 3.0 doesn’t say what it is but easily rolls off the tongue. Creating Passionate Users’ blog has a great post on the diff between buzz and jargon that defends the 2.0 – 3.0 moniker. 1.0 to 2.0 was fairly revolutionary going from mouthpiece to participatory. I think 3.0 just extends the goals of 2.0.
I’m certainly not sold on 3.0 so here are a few others I’ll throw into the ring.

I’m just hoping that Intelligence Amplification catches on and get shortened to IA. Then it’ll be a really nice play on AI.
