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.

Personal webpages use CSS
The power of creating pages is transferred to the masses

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?

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.

No more email...
Email was invented 40 years ago - before the WWW and yet is our default communication method on the web
Wave tries to change the ‘email’ protocol into something more like real time communication
Let’s see a bit of an example....

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.

Microformats Today
The Operator Plugin tries to bring the power of Microformats to the average user
Operator is an extension for Firefox that adds the ability to interact with semantic data on web pages, including microformats, RDFa and eRDF.

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
A combination of the semantic web and cloud computing

Command the Web
More and more applications are going to be run in the browser
The browser is going to become our operating system
With our data stored in the cloud, we’re going to need tools that let us access that data with ease
Ubiquity might be a step in this direction

More of the sameUser 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
