  So, finally web 2.0 is dead. Its jargon half-life has expired and the buzzword du jour is being interred and superseded. And by what? Well, you'll never guess. Long live web 3.0.

The BBC had been "caught a bit out of sync with audience demand" for video over the web since 2005 but it is now well-positioned, said Highfield, speaking at a Prince's Trust Technology Leadership Group event yesterday. Understandably, he spoke about initiatives such as the Beeb's on-demand TV service iPlayer , which puts a rolling seven days' worth of BBC TV content on tap to anyone online in the UK.
