4. History of the Web
Berners-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.

6. 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

8. Web 2.0 is People
Web 1.0 was Commerce
Web 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

12. 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?

14. 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

15. The Future ... Web 3.0?
"THE IDEA THAT A DEEPER AND TIGHTER COUPLING BETWEEN THE
ONLINE AND OFFLINE WORLDS WILL ACCELERATE SCIENCE,
BUSINESS, SOCIETY, AND SELF-ACTUALIZATION." - DR. GARY FLAKE

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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....

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. Connecting data silos
Right 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

22. 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

23. More of the same
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
