Can My Computer Be Smart Please? Thanks.

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
