How To Define Web 3.0

Source article

Steven Spalding has written a great article about the current trends in technology, and the direction in which the web is developing, the future of Web 3.0.

"Web 1.0 lacked context, Web 2.0 lacked interoperability, Web 3.0 will be a web where websites become web services and access to any information you desire is no more difficult than installing a widget onto your website", says Spalding.

Spalding starts his review labelling Web 3.0. He defines it as "highly specialized information silos, moderated by a cult of personality, validated by the community, and put into context with the inclusion of meta-data through widgets".

The author sees the future of Web 3.0 design in:

Specialized Subengines for Search
Social Networks replaced by People Search
Your Online Presence Searchable, Taggable and Ordered by Relevance through Voting and Algorithms
Increased Microblogging and more Powerful Widgets to allow you to place any of your feeds anywhere
Increased Integration between devices like cell phones and the web

"Analyzing Web 3.0 is an exercise in understanding how human beings naturally consume data. We tend to gravitate towards specialized information silos for the majority of our information. That’s why we have television stations instead of one massive GooTube, and why we buy magazines about our favorite subjects instead of white sheets containing random news articles", Spalding says in the end of his article.
