The New New Web
by Trip Foster : Mar 7, 2008
Richard McManus of ReadWriteWeb put together a great presentation about how he defined the Web 3.0.
I highly recommmend taking the time to look at the deck linked to below. In his presentation he characterizes two things VERY nicely.
- He defines the term Web 2.0 as an era, like the dotcom era, that graduated the web from ‘read only’ to ‘read/write’ (slide 3). This is a key developmental ‘era’ as it leverages the crowd to load the web with valuable information that can later be translated, analyzed and made more consummable by v. 3.0.
- He makes the distinction that in Web 3.o, web sites will become web services as sites become less important. He emphasizes that the data behind them (if structured) becomes the critical element. When this data becomes structured and machine-readable, the semantic or thinking web kicks in to make this data smarter as the transactions between people and computers are recorded and analyzed with the purpose of delivering user or scenario centric information.
Do you share his perspective on the New New Web? Wed love to hear your thoughts.
