Tim Berners-Lee labeled the semantic web as "Web 3.0" in 2006.

Well, he definitely "coined" it as in "transform it into coins". Crypto-coins, to be exact, mostly of his own currency, which has seen a quite exorbitant rise in valuation, not in the smallest part based on exuberant hyping of this "Web 3.0", of which everyone really needed to be a part (by buying Ether) or they would miss out on the next big thing.

I just coined the term Web 4.0, you heard it here first.

36 minutes too late, better quickly coin Web 5.0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17918120

Oh damn! I'm coining Web 6.0 just to be safe.

Having read the article, I can't tell if this is satire.
