How does it differ from web 3.0?
Web 3.0 defines the internet as 'getting smart'. It will be able to 'connect every aspect of our digital lives - be it a website, an e-mail, or a file on our PC - to every other aspect. It will know, for instance, when you are typing an e-mail, what the subject of the e-mail is, and be able to suggest websites and books as well as documents, photos and videos you have saved that may be relevant to that topic.'
Already the likes of 'Facebook, YouTube and the other social networks and blogs that fall within the scope of 'Web 2.0' may be beginning to penetrate the mainstream' so it is only a matter of when this will all take off.
However this 'intelligence' differs from the 'semantic web' because it is a case of less searches, sites and links, and more connection, interactivity and intelligence. Whereas the 'semantic web' seems to be a more intelligent labeling system of the many pages, sites and information on the internet.
Mr Spivack, the founder of Radar Networks, a leading Web 3.0 company, says it's useful to think about the web's development in ten-year cycles."We have had the first decade of the web, or Web 1.0," he says, which was about the development of the basic platform of the internet and the ability to make huge amounts of information widely accessible, "and we're nearing the end of the second decade - Web 2.0 - which was all about the user interface" and enabling users to connect with one another.'
