But wait... there are still
problems!

People! Too much creativity
Reinventing the wheel
Who cares... it’s innovation
Costs a lot to do the same..

So.... what does web3.0 do?

Semantics Data/Web
Organization
Standards
Understanding

OAUTH, API, XML, RDF, XDI, URI, XRI, SPARQL, SWRL,
XFN, OWL, etc.

?!

Example ;-)

Site “X” about Laura

Site “Y” about Laura

Problems?
More to learn
Takes longer
Unexpected changes
Less results...

Solution!
Standardize all this
Learn and comply to standards
Everything is documented
More results, more money

Get me some FOAF (RDF and OWL)

So use standards... RDF -> FOAF

One thing to learn
General change
You know what to expect

Few words to remember someday...
Microformats
DataPortability
Folksonomy

Systems understand it. So do search engines ;-)

New standards, new words
But me me ME!

What if?

You don’t have the in-house expertise/time
You aren’t able to handle the load
You can’t keep track of activity

Mashery helps with load and stats

We help with the API expertise :)

And you REALLY want to know how we do it?
We have an API framework called FRAPI

bah... I’ll spare you the sales pitch :)
