Based on all that I read, Web 3.0 is all about a highly personalized experience and a more advanced search experience. Semantic Web for the advanced search experience is the hot topic for this version. The definition of Semantic from computer.howstuffworks.com is, “The Semantic Web proposes to help computers "read" and use the Web. The big idea is pretty simple -- metadata added to Web pages can make the existing World Wide Web machine readable." The beauty of this kind of search is that you can enter text such as, “what is the best website for buying mountain bikes and tell me where in Michigan I can find a mountain bike trail”. This makes for a more efficient and effective search.
Here’s another great presentation on the topic of Web 3.0(28 slides) which is worth checking out. It comments on who is in the forefront (Google is on the list of course) and provides a simple overview comparing each iteration of the Web:

The evolution of the World Wide Web is incredibly fascinating when you think of it. I am typically so busy using it that I don't really think about how it will improve. Web 3.0 will be an exciting new world.
Seems to be how it always is...Right when you catch up with what's current, there's suddenly a new version of it being released! Ohh technology! :) Nice post, Diane, I had no idea 3.0 was even a thought yet.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that many of the features in Web 3.0 are already used in Web 2.0. I think as time goes on there is going to be more and more creative ideas. The possibilities never seem to end.
