Web 2.0 has been hot over the past few years, which is considered as the second generation of web which its content is more towards to user-contributed contents instead of like the first generation, which users have no contribution to the information. Okay, but since we already have web 2.0, whether it was just a marketing jargon, or it’s really the great technology that has changed the web today, giving users more participating options, we’ll need to move forward. Yes, the next version we’ll be looking into over the World Wide Web is the Web 3.0.
How will web 3.0 likely to work?
So, how will Web 3.0 work? Web 3.0 will be some intelligent web sites or web browsers that can really deliver the exact information that a user needs. Meaning it tends to understand and learn what the user wants and delivers nearly the exact or more meaningful content that the user’s looking for.
Difference between Web 3.0 and Web 2.0 (Or web 1.0)
For example, the search engines or web portals in the web 1.0 and web 2.0 eras are simply delivering a best-matched result by your input query. And most of the time the returned searched result by search engines will not give you exactly what you actually want. You’d most likely to get what you really want by following numerous hyper links of the search results, then only you’re led to the closer information after couple of hours of clicking here and there.
So, in either the web 2.0 or web 1.0 era, you’ll need to spend lots of time to search, make your own analysis and comparison to get the exact information that you want. The major difference in web 2.0 and web 1.0 is, web 2.0 has public-contributed and multiple-resources-contributed information, which should be higher in terms of chances to lead you to the exact result.
Web 3.0 delivers the exact information you need in seconds, like you super personal assistant
In web 3.0 - the next generation of web, it’ll be getting very precise in delivering you the exact information that you want. It’d be like your personal assistant, who knows practically everything about you, understands you. Eventually a web 3.0 compliant web browser or web app will just let you sit back and it’ll find all the answers for you.
Taking an example that you’re planning for a vacation, and you have limited budget of below $3,000, but you want a nice place to stay. With the current web 2.0 era, you’ll need to perform couple of searches on Google, then land on several discount travel websites, do your own research, make the comparison. Huh! All this will take you at least several hours to get what you actually want. But in web 3.0 era, it’ll be able to perform all these comparisons and analysis for you automatically and presents you only the final information that you want in seconds.
Web 2.0 web apps will be the building blocks of Web 3.0
Web 3.0 will be based on the current web 2.0 websites as the building blocks. As current web 2.0 websites are providing APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), letting others to grab and share its data and services. Since web 3.0-complaint web app will be such an intelligent one that can understand a user and deliver highly meaningful result to the user, then it’ll need to pull all resources and data from those many web 2.0 websites, so it can make the comparison and analysis for you.
Powerset - a closer to Web 3.0, semantic search engine and a Google killer?
A better search engine, which is a step closer to web 3.0 that provides semantic search result is said to have surfaced to let the public to test run its beta on Monday. This new semantic search engine is claimed to deliver more meaningful search result than Google does, which is a product of the new start-up Powerset. Although the Powerset search engine still has very limited index in its search databank, but it’s expected to reach what its rivals, Google and Yahoo have after a month of its launch.

Cant wait for web 3.0 I have found that a site a person types a search in for you will often only find what you looking for on a couple of pages after 1st result. Hope web 3.0 can do away with spammer webmasters that spam keywords and use lots of gateway pages, lots of pages with a whole bunch of text that doesn’t make sense to gain better ranking. Great blog thank you from Africa
