# Web 3.0
People may have noticed that I am pushing bridges to be built between the Social Web and the Semantic Web. The reason for this is because I believe this could be the start of “Web 3.0“.
People have tried to define the Web 3.0. Nova Spivack has done a good job: https://novaspivack.typepad.com/nova_spivacks_weblog/2007/10/web-30—-the-a.html
However, I want to define it in a simpler way (so you don’t have to crawl through all of Novas articles). My definition is:
- Usable
- Simple
- Mobile / Ubiquitous
- Meaningful
- More Intelligent
I give an example in a comment on a recent post by Tim O’Reilly ( https://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/11/software_above_single_device.html ). It goes like this:
why is it not easy for me to just tell my smart phone that I want to collect my phone book from all of the Web 2.0 style Social Networking Web Applications that I am a part of?
And this should be something that is automatic on the device, it should “know” my profile and know how to automatically connect to the relevant services.
The Semantic Web can provide the formats, the ontologies and the inferencing. The Social Web can provide the usability and socialness of such an application. Now we look towards innovation for “something else”
