Beyond Web 2.0... What’s Next?
Nicole C. EngardOpen Source Evangelist, LibLime
History of the Web
Web 1.0
The introduction of personal web pages
Blinking images and static content
HTML used to create pages
Webpages managed by the experts
History of the WebBerners-Lee envisioned a read/write web
We weren’t ready in the 1990’s for such a big step
We started with a read-only web – a place where everyone could read whatever they wanted, but only a select few (programmers) could write web pages.
This was Web 1.0.
Web 2.0
Blogs and Content Management Systems
Personal webpages use CSS
The power of creating pages is transferred to the masses
Community and collaboration
Web 2.0 History
The term "Web 2.0" was coined at a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International in 2004
Also referred to as the “Participatory Web” or the “Read/Write Web”
Fulfills Berners-Lee’s original vision for the WWW
Web 2.0 is People
Web 1.0 was CommerceWeb 2.0 is People - Ross Mayfield
The introduction of tools like blogs, wikis, tags, widgets and RSS have made it so that anyone can write to the web
Web 2.0 Titles
Wisdom of the Crowds
The Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki
“Two heads are better than one.”
Allowing the public to edit/contribute to your content will lead to more valuable content
Wikis, Tagging, Hyperlinking and Reviews
Giving everyone a voice
Blogging
Library 2.0 Books
Is Web 2.0 Dead?
Popular opinion seems to lean toward the term Web 2.0 being dead
Does that mean that the philosophies behind Web 2.0 are dead?
Does that mean there is a Web 3.0?
Long Live Web 2.0
Collaboration is here to stay
Collective Intelligence is here to stay
User generated content is here to stay
And they’re all growing
The Future ... Web 3.0?
Semantic web
Cloud computing
Microformats
Connecting data silos
And more of the same

BUSINESS, SOCIETY, AND SELF-ACTUALIZATION." - DR. GARY FLAKE

Semantic Web
To many, Web 3.0 is something called the Semantic Web, a term coined by Tim Berners-Lee.
The Semantic Web is a place where machines can read Web pages much as we humans read them, a place where search engines and software agents can better troll the Net and find what we're looking for.
"It's a set of standards that turns the Web into one big database," says Nova Spivack, CEO of Radar Networks, one of the leading voices of this new-age Internet.

Cloud Computing
The term cloud computing probably comes from (at least partly) the use of a cloud image to represent the Internet.
Cloud computing is now associated with a higher level abstraction of the cloud. Instead of there being data pipes, routers and servers, there are now services.
In essence this is distributed computing. Cloud computing really is accessing resources and services needed to perform functions with dynamically changing needs.
An example of this would be Google Apps and/or Zoho office. Both the applications and the data are stored out in the cloud.

Microformats
Designed for humans first and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards (HTML & XML).
Instead of throwing away what works today, microformats intend to solve simpler problems first by adapting to current behaviors and usage patterns.

Connecting data silosRight now our data is stored in several silos (trapped and accessible from only one place)
My images are on Flickr and then I have to upload them to Facebook and then I have to link to them from FriendFeed.
My contacts are different on each service because I have to remember to invite my friends in all places
We need to find technologies to connect all of these social networks so that we can access everything from everywhere
Users are started to expect more and more from technologies

User generated content is going to be key
The wisdom of crowds has been extremely successful in projects like Wikipedia and the open source movement - and isn’t going away
Sites that don’t allow users to participate are going to fall to the wayside
