Contrary to what is written on Wikipedia, the claims by blockchain enthusiasts that “Web3” was first coined in 2014 by an Ethereum co-founder, the term “Web3” has been around since 2007, at least according to these online records:

It was Loic Le Meur who first coined it, the brain behind #LeWeb3 conference in France. Web3, or Web3.0 (whichever you prefer to use), is about the #SocialWeb, also called the #OpenSocialWeb, and how #Web3 should be decentralised, distributed, federated, and an open network (#DDFON).
Web3 is broad, and blockchain is just one part of it, **not** _the_ Web3.
Also, the argument that there's a difference between “Web3” and “Web3.0” is invalid. If you track, at least what's on Twitter, the two have always been interchangeable. (Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web3 )
So, for whatever it's worth, it's all Web3. No one truly owns the term because it has always been about the decentralisation, distribution, federation, and openness of the Web. Different means, same objective: #BringDownTheWalls and #BuildBridges.
