Web Evolution

Web 1.0 - World Wide Web

• information is communicated from company to individuals (i.e. your basic website). The web becomes one big encyclopedia of sorts.

Hyperlinked information, Static content

Web 2.0 – Read/Write Web

• information is communicated between company and individuals AND between individuals. This is the Post a Comment/Start a Blog/Skype/YouTube web. If web 1.0 is a book, web 2.0 is a live discussion

Dynamic information,Social content

Web 3.0 – Semantic Web

• it's not information anymore, it's intelligence, artificial intelligence. You'd interact with it almost like another person. The web won't just blindly do what we tell it to do, it'll think for you.

Organized information, Content + meaning

“for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital

democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game, Time’s

Person of the Year for 2006 is you”
