If there's one constant about technology that trumps all others, it's this: change. We can be sure that whatever technology is cool and useful and popular today will be replaced by something that's cooler, more useful, and more popular tomorrow. It's just the way it is.

With truth it's different. Unless you're a relativist, truth doesn't change. We need to know that what's true today will still be true tomorrow. We also need to know that the content we access, whether it's on a printed page or in some kind of electronic form, is trustworthy.

At ConversantLife.com, we are committed to both technology and truth. We are using the latest technology to present trustworthy content by a team of passionate and knowledgeable communicators, all the while inviting our users to comment and post content of their own in the form of news stories that have faith implications.

There's a trend in this technology/truth arena that goes to the heart of what ConversantLife.com is all about. It's called Web 3.0, defined by Internet guru Jason Calacanis as: "the creation of high-quality content and services produced by gifted individuals using Web 2.0 technlogy as an enabling platform." In an editorial called The Search for Online Truth, Matthew Kinne gives this summary of this trend:

"This third-wave of Internet usage and protocol restores the value of content by restoring validity, truthfulnes and, hence, usefulness to the information presented online."

Web 2.0 websites (such as Facebook and Wikipedia) will continue to be enormously popular, but for people who are looking for trustworthy content--not presented in a "top down" authoritative manner, but in a winsome, conversational way--Web 3.0 is the answer. We're just pleased that the trend is finally catching up to what ConversantLife.com is all about.
