So I’m still working on this idea of “the semantic web” that was recommended to me in class. I found it a little difficult to grasp, so I thought I’d post a little about the terms associated with it.
A lot of people call it Web 3.0.
Before it, of course, there was the a general shift from Web 1.0 to 2.0.
| Web 1.0 | Web 2.0 | |
|---|---|---|
| DoubleClick | –> | Google AdSense |
| Ofoto | –> | Flickr |
| Akamai | –> | BitTorrent |
| mp3.com | –> | Napster |
| Britannica Online | –> | Wikipedia |
| personal websites | –> | blogging |
| evite | –> | upcoming.org and EVDB |
| domain name speculation | –> | search engine optimization |
| page views | –> | cost per click |
| screen scraping | –> | web services |
| publishing | –> | participation |
| content management systems | –> | wikis |
| directories (taxonomy) | –> | tagging (“folksonomy”) |
| stickiness | –> | syndication |

Now Web 3.0 is building on the platforms and applications of Web 2.0 to make the Internet a smarter place (as in associating certain websites and pages with others in a logical fashion). One step closer to A.I.?
This does a better job at explaining it:

without me having to convert my normal speech to keyword-talk? Pretty sweet or pretty creepy?
