"It's all Latin to me!" - Plain English Explanations for the Web 1.0 to Web 3.0 Software Updates

After detoxing from another great weekend, I found a site which grabbed me by the neck and squeezed. If you don't know, I am a very visually attentive learner; the better the graphs, diagrams, and pics the more apt I am to understand.

So as you open the page, you will be greeted by an outstanding list of the differences between Webs 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. The rows in this list all correspond, making it that much simpler for the management major. Surprisingly enough, this is the first real research I have done on Web 3.0, but I am not taken aback by the future technologies and fads of the web.

Every site which describes Web 3.0 in detail defines it as the "semantic web", or intelligent search and data personalization. Check out this presentation brought forth by sophotec

These links both describe the updates well, with major emphasis on the user and our duty to maintain it. Another site I checked out to compare/contrast with O'Reilly's ideas offered identical beliefs and ideas towards blogging, widgets, ajax apps, social bookmarking and RSS feeds. It's unbelievable how all of these technologies are completely user reliant, yet I still find it hard to discover friends which blog/tweet/post/tag/bookmark/etc...

Facebook is still king, and because of its tech friendliness I know it will maintain its status in the hierarchal structure. That being said, I am stoked for the arrival of Web 3.0. See you all in class!
