If you haven’t got your head around what Web 2.0 is yet, you might be able to jump straight to Web 3.0 as it is on the rise. I mentioned this on an early post about web trends, however I didn’t mention what Web 3.0 is.

Web 1.0 – Static Pages, HTML Based, very much like a ‘document’

Web 2.0 – Dynamic Pages, Social Networking and generally “2″ way communication

Web 3.0 – The Semantic Web – structured information

Justin Lee, has put together a great slideshare presentation which I would like to share. It explains the direction Web 3.0 is moving and offers a few examples.

Web 3.0 seems like a natural progression, and it is. The ability to have data easier to get to and analyze might not seem that exciting now, but the buzz word is developing and so are the applications. Web 2.0 offers so many different uses and is still expanding today and if the changes that come with Web 3.0 sites and applications is anything like the changes brought forward from Web 2.0 we will be in for an interesting time.
