Web 2.0 to Web 3.0

Web 2.0 to Web 3.0!

Technology July 23, 2007 by Sravan Kumar Kandagatla

As you are all aware with the familiar word “Web 2.0“, coming to the point, many have little idea on what actually comprises Web 2.0? am I right?

Before they digest the same, a talk on Web 3.0 is ON.

As you all know the latest trend is already into Web 2.0, and the way creative developers or designers are coming up with web 2.0 applications is fast and huge in number.

When I searched for the word Web 2.0 in google it rendered me almost 594,000,000 search results and when I did the same for Web 3.0 it ended up with 295,000,000 search results :(, was quite wondered and confused about what to look into and what this Web 2.0 & Web 3.0 means and what it actually comprises with. But found only a few articles that are useful with good information about Web 2.0 and Web 3.0.

Here follows a few lines about Web 2.0 and Web 3.0.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O’Reilly Media in 2003 and popularized by the first Web 2.0 conference in 2004, refers to a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services – such as social-networking sites, wikis, and folksonomies – which facilitate collaboration and sharing between users. O’Reilly Media titled a series of conferences around the phrase, and it has since become widely adopted.

Web 3.0

Still, there is a considerable debate as to what the term Web 3.0 means, and what a suitable definition might be. Web 3.0 is a term that has been coined with different meanings to describe the evolution of Web usage and interaction among several separate paths.

These include transforming the Web into a database, a move towards making content accessible by multiple non-browser applications, the leveraging of artificial intelligence technologies, the Semantic web, or the Geospatial Web.

Here are a few links or sites to know more about what Web 3.0 could be!

    Why do we need these labels? Personally, I use “web 2.0” as a design reference, but I’m hoping there will be a more interesting word to describe the next wave of trending visual styles than “web 3.0”.
