Comments on: More Web 3.0 Snark Bait

[…] What does this have to do with existentialism? Existentialists don’t get themselves hung up on the objective truth or the ultimate meaning of life. What makes meaning is being in the world, taking action. If I were going to do something so annoying as defining Web 3.0, what I’d talk about is how semantic web technologies could more actively help us achieve our goals. […]

I like your vision. And with the web knowing us, I can’t help that Google’s push for personalization (including personalization of search results) is the genesis of that.

Thanks for your kind comments about Touchstone Anne!

In regard to your discussion with Peter - I don’t think publishing personal content about yourself in some sort of ‘web 3.0′ format is an all or nothing scenario.

I think it would be more like blogging. I can choose to publish my web 3.0 calendar, or I can choose not to.

The real power of Web 3.0 might be that agents can work on my behalf so that I can consume public/shared/corporate/trusted calendars in a way that is more intuitive.

I think this is already happening though with something called Microformats.

Peter, my earlier comment to you got eaten somehow… will try to reproduce it.

I agree that Web 3 will include a web-that-knows-me aspect. I am wondering how nontechie users will take to this… I am happy to use my own name and leave bits and pieces of me around the WWW but other users may not be so free and easy with their personal information or with declaring themselves to the point that such a capability works.

Chris, sometimes simple is good enough as you demonstrate with your manual trackback. Touchstone looks kind of interesting in that it actually admits there are users that don’t identify as geeks and/or developers.

Danny, I was just reading about Tabulator this morning. I’m glad we’re only on the second version of the Web right now because I am way behind on semantic web technology. Am barely through chapter 1 of practical rdf and now I’ve got tons of things to look at–mostly from you, so stop it already. Just take a break from blogging for a couple weeks and then I can catch up.
