Recent Talking with Talis podcast subject Danny Ayers takes a break from saying nice things about almost every podcast I’ve recorded this year except his own to offer some initial thoughts on his ‘Pre-releases tips for Web 3.0 system builders‘.

“At this stage in the game it isn’t really possible to truly draw on past experience, all there is to go on is guesswork. But by looking at the environment and considering how pieces of the Web can fit together, I believe there’s plenty of material around to inform that guesswork. Nothing of what follows is remotely new - it’s essentially a collection of cliches. But I’m reasonably confident they’re the right cliches.”

I’m pretty confident that they’re the right cliches, too… and have no hesitation in pointing to the steps being taken by companies such as Talis in doing exactly this.

There does appear to be a growing acceptance of an approach like the one Danny outlines. So are we all right (I hope so!), or collectively deluded and about to be overtaken by some upstart with a revolutionary new business model such as bombarding every house in the land with junk mail or making users pay for the privilege of filling in a complex application form before beginning to work in a little silo where the lack of APIs is a selling point?

I look forward to watching Danny’s ideas on this evolve…
