Web 2.0 brought us a change in the basic way that we search, tagging. With tagging you could describe anything as anything and search for items in a fashion that is more in line with the way people really look for things.

Web 3.0 will take this one step further. If you are searching for information on Cars, for example, you would use the search engine as you normally would, but your results would be more specialized subengines.
Community built around search results.
Relevance through user interaction.
Imagine a world where you could search a name and bring up that person, all the social networks they belong to, and produce a feed around them.
Everyone will have Page Rank.

If Web 3.0 is the Semantic Web, where computer agents read content like human beings do — then RSS will be its eyes (or at least its corrective lenses).

Self-serve search is history…
the ability to protect this feed will be crucial.

Advertising itself will have to be redesigned to properly exploit a listening audience that is so deeply segmented. At present, most advertising is designed for audiences with little knowledge of the technical specifications of products; however, listeners of — for example — tech podcasts may be turned off by advertisers who they feel produce patronizing content. Advertising will have to become more sophisticated and provide more value by both entertaining and informing the listening audience.
We want to be sold on value, not patronized.
Web 3.0 will mark a substantial improvement in audio analytics, and will enable the use of contextual advertising.
The major sociological hurdle is how to place advertising without distracting from the content

- Tagging
  
  In Web 3.0 search engines will need to have a better understanding of “context”. One way to accomplish this is to take a nod from directories and allow results to be tagged. These tags can be voted on by the community and would only be an addition to, not a replacement for, traditional sorting algorithms. Thus, if an eCommerce site is tagged as being a source for information on “iPods”, the community has validated this with their votes and the algorithm acknowledges that this is true, it would appear high on the listing for searches within the context “iPod”.
- Context
  
  Context is the major driving force behind all Web 3.0 thinking. As the amount of data we are subjected to on a daily basis increases, the only way we will have any chance of using it effectively is if systems are put into place to allow us to refine our context. Everything in the terrestrial world works like this.
  
  When you are looking for a book, you go into a book store or library. If you are looking for a movie, you go to a movie theater or video rental shop. Nowhere in the natural world is there an “everything” store that just contains a hodgepodge of unsorted products. Schools are broken into classes and Malls are broken into stores. The point is that in the “real world” when we ask a question or look for something, we get answers that are relevant to the context we are currently in. In order for search to truly evolve, it must act like this.
  
  Meme: My search engine understands me better than you do!

- I think I have managed to explain Web 3.0 quite nicely, so without further ado.
  
  Definition: 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.
- Web 2.0 brought us a change in the basic way that we search, tagging.
- 23 more annotations...
- - Web 3.0 will take this one step further. If you are searching for information on Cars, for example, you would use the search engine as you normally would, but your results would be more specialized subengines.
  - The strong algorithms that are currently used would be kept, but in addition some weight would be given to items that the community has flagged as interesting or voted on.
    
    Meme: Community built around search results.
  - Seeking Validation
  - You could type in what you were looking for, “conservative viewpoint on Darwin” for example and it would pull up results ordered by relevance (algorithms), tagging, and validation through user voting.
  - Seeking Entertainment
  - StumbleUpon may be the closest analogy to how we will be entertained in Web 3.0. You fill out a profile, define your tags and then flip the channel.
  - Meme: Relevance through user interaction.
  - Imagine a world where you could search a name and bring up that person, all the social networks they belong to, and produce a feed around them.
  - If I put a proper name into the search engine of Web 3.0 it would provide the running profile of my presence on the web; it would show everything in the webosphere that has been tagged as belonging to me, ordered by community validation and relevance.
  - In this Wikiality my page would contain both information that I have written about myself and information that has been written about me.
  - Meme: Everyone will have Page Rank.
  - Web 3.0 will see a more complete integration between devices like cell phones and the world wide web (does anything still use that term?) Posting pictures, videos and text from anywhere, anytime with as little hassle as possible.
  - Our pages will be little more than our personal interpretations of all the data available on the web, plugged into these pages through a growing array of widgets and shared with the world.
    
    Meme: The Widget Web
  - Summary
    
    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.
  - In ten years RSS and its related technologies will be seen as the single most important internet technology since Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau created the World Wide Web at CERN around 17 years ago.
  - If Web 3.0 is the Semantic Web, where computer agents read content like human beings do — then RSS will be its eyes (or at least its corrective lenses).
  - In this future, RSS will be extended to include a host of data-points it currently does not. Each blog post (or microblogging feed), every picture, every video clip will have searchable, taggable, XML based syndication around it.
  - Finally, RSS enables users to define their own contexts for information. Imagine a word where creating a mashup between Google maps and your Twitter account was no more difficult than sticking a few widgets together.
  - If you used a search engine, your results would be weighted based not only on the standard Web 3.0 metrics, but also on “what you care about” as defined by all your previous interactions with this particular search engine and all of this would be completely transparent.
  - Programs that surf the web for you will become more and more powerful. In a world where your personal profile containing your likes, dislikes and search history is as easy to upload as it is to add a feed to your RSS reader, it is no surprise that a major industry will be software that does your searching for you.
  - Microblogging will be the critical change in the way we write in Web 3.0. Imagine a world where your mobile phone, your email, and you television could all produce feedback that could easily be pushed to any or all blogging platforms. If you take a picture from your smart-phone, it would be automatically tagged, bagged and forwarded to your “lifestream”. If you rated a television show that you were watching, your review would be forwarded into the stream.
  - Fortunately, microblogging also opens up the world to new opportunities. Live blogging, a technique usually reserved for important events, would become common. If you can’t actually be at a conference, pictures, video and commentary could be pushed to you in real time. The entire world would become an Op-Ed piece.
  - In Web 3.0 search engines will need to have a better understanding of “context”. One way to accomplish this is to take a nod from directories and allow results to be tagged. These tags can be voted on by the community and would only be an addition to, not a replacement for, traditional sorting algorithms.

- Everyone has the same information, the question will be who makes you want to read it.
  >
- 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.
