There's another (newer?) version of this too, presumably to save characters (in a tweet or forum post). Some just place 草 (kusa, meaning 'grass') because several w's look like grass wwww

But if www stands for 笑う why 3 w's because in 笑う there is only one w and the word starts with that one w.
Btw I like how the www evolved to 草. I think it is pretty funny.
Thanks!

It isn't really limited to 3 w's can be any number, the more the funnier. like lol, LOL! or LOOOLLLLL!
