How Web 3.0 Will Work
computer.howstuffworks.com — You've decided to go see a movie and grab a bite to eat afterward. You're in the mood for a comedy and some incredibly spicy Mexican food. Booting up your PC, you open a Web browser and head to Google to search for theater, movie and restaurant information.

- MiddleOfNowhere, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6Yeah, we all do ... The idea here is that more stuff is done for you without any explicit commands.
I have my own pet project (a CMS with semantic tagging) in the field that is called Web 3.0 these days, but frankly, the promises in this article are the sames as those made by Apple and IBM in the early 1990s.
Back then, the same promise (make a natural language request, have products and data sent your way, wherever you may be) was based on the concept of autonomous software agents - little programs that would roam the net and act (research, negotiate, purchase) in your name.
All this will only work if we either...
a) get to see consistent semantic markup (good luck with that with regards to the ugly tag soup that is the current web)
or
b) strong A.I. (not really likely for the next decades, and if we do, I doubt said A.I. will be eager to do our shopping :)- dfeifer, on 05/11/2008, -0/+0The tags are quite irritating, case in point, eBay.

- meshman, on 05/11/2008, -4/+152"Many of these experts believe that the Web 3.0 browser will act like a personal assistant."
*smashes head off desk*
I'm sorry, I missed the "Web 2.0 Browser". When did that happen?
"It's true that when Dale Dougherty of O'Reilly Media came up with the term, there was no clear definition."
And there still isn't so why now try to build on some thing that's inclear in the first place?
"In brief, the characteristics of Web 2.0 include:"
Everything we've had since before the term was coined.
"Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. He created it as an interface for the Internet and a way for people to share information with one another. Berners-Lee disputes the existence of Web 2.0, calling it nothing more than meaningless jargon "
No, don't listen to him, wtf does he know? He only invented the freaking thing. God what a tiring pile of garbage that was. Who are these so called "experts" anyway? They don't name anybody, they quote one expert who calls Web 2.0 meaningless jargon. So my question then is, who's paying howstuffworks to hype this garbage?- Scaryclouds, on 05/11/2008, -16/+4"*smashes head off desk*"
Why did you need to smash your head *off* your desk?
As for the web 2.0 browser, many are now integrating RSS feeds, and social networking tools. Even if there wasn't a true Web 2.0 browser they could be saying that web 3.0 will be more browser based so it is still a legitimate comment.- Micktion, on 05/11/2008, -0/+11Web 2.0 was term invented by Oreilly publishing and they used the term to describe the come back of web based business models after the .COM bust of 2000. So yea. In terms of it being an actual technical term its totally meaningless. It relates to nothing technical. It does happen to coincide with the dawning of new approaches like REST services, however, that's purely conincidental.
The internet has been will continue to be a continuously evolving medium. Try to break that continous evolution into versions... like web 1.0/2.0 etc is really out of the technical domain and definitely a spin/marketing domain.
As for this article, I think it's flogging a dead horse, the whole magical personal computer assistance that does everything for you before you know you wanted to do it has been floated around since the clippy was born in Office 98. No one liked clippy back then, they still don't like him today. I don't see clippy leading the way into the world of "Web 3.0".- Scaryclouds, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2I would disagree with that sentiment. There may of been no definite date "web 2.0" came online, but there is a major difference between how the web operates today and how it operated before the dot com bust. Furthermore I never suggested web 2.0 is a technical term, however it is a term to define web applications which typically allow for, on some level, user manipulation of data.
If we applied your theory of technical evolution to biological evolution we couldn't call ourselves homo sapien because there wouldn't be a definite point when we evolved from homo rhodesiensis.- Micktion, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1Well you're wrong. There WAS a definite date Web 2.0 "came online".
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2 ...
...and that date is the 5th of October 2004 the date of the first Web 2.0 conference. Oreilly media invented Web 2.0 as branding for a conference. So it's a marketing term, this is NOT a theory, it is a fact.
All these "distinctions" between Web 1.0/2.0 were made retrospectively. Anyone who has any real understanding of these technologies, does not take Web1.0/2.0 seriously as technical terms. All of the technologies that are touted as web 2.0 technologies have evolved from standards that were round years before the .com bust. The key to manipulating data for "Web 2.0" technologies such as AJAX, REST etc is XML,
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210
SOAP, RSS, ATOM are all XML this is not an accident, this is EXACTLY what the XML standards were created for. These standards have been around floating around since the mid 90's, XML, HTML originate from Hyptext...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext
...which was invented back in 1965. So what version was hypertext.... a Web CTP or a beta release of the Web?
It's a joke.

There is e.g. a FF plugin called BlueOrganizer. I don't use it, but it claims to do some of those semantic 2.0/3.0-ish things: Recognize books, movies, names etc. on a page, offering you related services/links even if they are not part of the original page.
I'm not saying this is the second coming of Christ - just that people work on these things, and they will probably be added as a kind of software glue and/or another layer on top of what we have now (add-ins, APIs, mash-ups). So there will be gradual changes, as before (video, AJAX) and few "revolutions".- jiveturkeyblues, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2I was thinking Flock, but, close enough
- brutalsponge, on 05/11/2008, -3/+5I've been saying this Web 2.0 crap is just a meaningless term for a long time.
God damn marketing faggotry. - jesus8mypoptart, on 05/11/2008, -3/+4I would have to agree with you 100%. Web 2.0 is *****, only marketers and super nerds use the term. Its all the same crappy internet we've had it just obviously has new and maybe some are better features. But nothing has and prob won't for a long time revolutionize the way I look at the internet.
And who the ***** wants ANOTHER crappy portable device to look like a ***** retard. Id rather sit at home surfing the internet on my 64in HD TV then some cheesy headset like that. - jeeky, on 05/11/2008, -5/+1web 1.0 = static information (e.g. books)
web 2.0 = dynamic information (e.g. bulliten boards, networking)
That's what my Web teacher taught me, so I'm assuming that...
web 3.0 = interactivity (e.g. "Personal Assistants")
Even though the "interactivity" would mean that the browser would have to store the information, not the website itself, which could be economical in it's entirety, but caches could get massive.- Papajohn56, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1"bulletin boards"
was USENET web 2.0 back in the 80's?
- Papajohn56, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1"bulletin boards"
- mabisa, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1It is bizarre that so many in the tech sector are willing and eager to apply this sort of limiting terminology to themselves. No one doubts that the semantic web is near, that distributed and cloud computing are inevitable, or that web technologies will only become more robust, extensible, and user-friendly. But to slap a label on a decentralized set of technologies is completely worthless.
- Scaryclouds, on 05/11/2008, -16/+4"*smashes head off desk*"
- Scaryclouds, on 05/11/2008, -7/+2Very interesting article, you can already tell things are heading this way one of the best examples is the google search engine. Type in restaurant plus your zip code and you will get the listings of local restaurants. This works with many other words/terms and a location. I'm working on a senior project and I hope to incorporate something like this into it.
- dazparkour, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3If you call it web 3.0, I'm not looking forward to when you start work.
Let's face it, there is no web 2.0, there will be no web 3.0.
All the things people call web 2.0 EXCEPT ajax were around since the beginning, and AJAX is quite old now.- Scaryclouds, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2Well I'm already working as a software engineer and I'm not going to suggest I'm Gods gift to web programming, but I'm by no means baffled by how web applications work. Furthermore because I choose to use a term like web 2.0 and 3.0 does not mean I use that term in place of not understanding the technology behind what makes AJAX, web services, or other technologies typically billed as being part of web 2.0 work. It is just much easier to user "web 2.0" instead of says "interactive web media" or some other term that more accurately describes web applications/sites that are referred to as "web 2.0."

"Ah," I hear you cry, "but what about when I'm in another town for some reason."
What reason - you're there on business/holiday? (Ask the hotel clerk). You're there with a friend (ask them). When have you EVER been in another town and thought "I am utterly incapable of asking a local where the cinema is. I know, I'll open my mobile phone and spend 5 minutes staring at a screen."
"But, but what about the restaurant?". Ask a member of the cinema staff.
Local knowledge. Sometimes technology is not the right answer.- bobcrotch, on 05/11/2008, -0/+15Why use social skills when you can use the Internet!

- dmazzoni, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3You only have one cinema?
There are at least 9 cinemas within 5 miles of my house, and any given movie is probably only playing in at most 2 of them. Most of the theaters are in different shopping/dining/entertainment "neighborhoods", so if you want dinner and a movie, it matters which one you pick.
I think this is a big city vs suburb thing. In the suburb you have one megaplex with 20 screens. When you're in a major city (I'm in west L.A.) there tend to be lots of neighborhoods with a couple of smaller cinemas, 4 or 6 screens each. - MiddleOfNowhere, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6This works with generic requests and small data sets: "Where is the ONE (good) cinema/bar in this ***** little town?"
When you are in a big city and have specific interests ("small theatre with foreign movies and a great pasta restaurant within walking distance which will still be open 1 a.m."), you might have to ask a lot of locals. Just saying. - Corrosionx, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2I don't want to know where it is, I want to know the time the movie plays, skip the box office, take my popcorn see the movie and get the hell out.

- mijelh, on 05/11/2008, -1/+1The "I for one welcome..." meme is getting really old, be a little creative!
- lougoose, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1If it's said at the right time, it's good.
- lougoose, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1Not a good time for that.
- mijelh, on 05/11/2008, -1/+1The "I for one welcome..." meme is getting really old, be a little creative!
- dagamer34, on 05/11/2008, -2/+3The Web 3.0 is location-based services that come to YOU. Laptops and phones will have built-in GPS.
- dazparkour, on 05/11/2008, -1/+3There. Is. No. Web anypointanything!
- DarthDiabetes, on 05/11/2008, -1/+0Web 3.0 = SEO Spammer Heaven.
They're just going to logjam Web 3.0 with keywords that trick your browser into going to monetized blogs and adbait sites. - GDOG5, on 05/11/2008, -1/+7Its been a while since i visited "How Stuff Works". Its looking allot better now. Still has multiple short pages though. Why cant they just put all that information on one page, it'd be so much easier.
- XIUgraag, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3http://computer.howstuffworks.com/web-30.htm/print ... Here you go ;)
- feshmania, on 05/11/2008, -2/+3this article completely misses what Web 3.0 is REALLY going to be
http://elvis.rowan.edu/~feussj83/icw3/ [ICW3] - DigitAl56K, on 05/11/2008, -0/+11What is this "point oh" thing all about? Why not just call it "Web 3"?
Heck, why not stop attaching stupid meaningless names to something that is in a state of perpetual change?
I guess the world needs more buzzwords. - Licurgo, on 05/11/2008, -0/+4in the web 3.0 you never have to go out, you can download the tacos and the taste will be sent to your mouth trough wifi connection while a tube send a tastaless mass trough your throath and then the 2 hours movie will be downladed directly to your mind in 2 seconds and the reviews
- craterburnsu, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5pfft everyone knows the wave of the future that will be Web 3.0 is internet suppositories.
- dbarefoot, on 05/11/2008, -1/+21Will Web 3.0 have less pagination. Did that article really need eight separate pages?
- fuxjoey, on 05/11/2008, -2/+3Web3.0 doesn't really existed yet, how they gonna explain how it works.
- Planets, on 05/11/2008, -1/+5Gah, are we still throwing around useless terms like "Web 3.0"?
- jordan314, on 05/11/2008, -0/+17Words cannot express how much I hated this article. It was written like a children's textbook with no grasp on the technology other than jargon.
- lostngone, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2It will work with lasers of course...
- thailand1972, on 05/11/2008, -1/+5Web 2.0, Web 3.0 etc are meaningless, but I'm slightly interested : why ".0" anyway when there's never a .1 to .9? It's like saying this year is 2008.0.
- dlite922, on 05/11/2008, -1/+2I get your point, but invalid comparison:
Years have sub divisions obviously, months, years, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds.
For example right now the date/time is: 39579.4777491
According to Excel, Google search proves there's more than one way to calculate it than the excel one. Excel is controversial, but it proves my point here.
You should use....uh.....integers? I can't think of something that you can't break down into sub versions....oh wait. WEB 2.0!!- thailand1972, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2Web 2.0, 3.0 whatever is never broken down into 2.1 or 3.1 or whatever. Whatever dude.
- dlite922, on 05/11/2008, -1/+2I get your point, but invalid comparison:
- steveoco, on 05/11/2008, -0/+14Web 2.0 = Users make the content, owners take the revenue.
- grimward, on 05/11/2008, -2/+2And ironically, by posting that comment, you're making digg money too ! :D
- hitdrumhard, on 05/11/2008, -1/+3Isn't that article really about the 'semantic web?'
why must we always adopt ***** names for idiots in MSM to latch onto? - doctordbx, on 05/11/2008, -0/+7Web360 has more games.
- sbga420, on 05/11/2008, -1/+5this article is ***** there is no web 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0, its media jargon
there is just the web- saxreturns, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1There is no web, there is only Zool.
- larsonc, on 05/11/2008, -2/+0tl;dr
Lame. - mitch37, on 05/11/2008, -1/+5"I want to find a story about what the web will be like in 30 years, just make sure it is made up of 76% bullcrap. What are my options?"
Please help me Web3.0 Search! - yellowfish04, on 05/11/2008, -1/+7does anyone else think this sounds ***** scary? I don't want web fcking 3.0 knowing my likes and dislikes....because if web fcking 3.0 knows everything about me, that means some ***** company over in california knows them too....***** that. LEAVE ME ALONE
- tolgafiratoglu, on 05/11/2008, -1/+2yes...this article is "internet for dummies"
- socivitus, on 05/11/2008, -2/+7Will my browser know what kind of porn I like?! That would be AWESOME! ^_^
- RodneyJason, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5by time web 3.0 is common i want to have the movie broadcast into my brain, order from the Mexican restaurant and have the taste of the food simulated by the computer... and after finish it off with some virtual pornography.
