Web 2.0? Web 3.0!

In case you don't know what Web 2.0 is, you can off this page, as I like to tell the secret - what is Web 3.0. Matt Thompson, senior director for open source from Sun Microsystems, knows that. He says there is not a big difference between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 paradigm, simply 'users would be a lot more empowered to get what they want online.' I will add:

• Web 3.0 is mostly Wireless Mobile World
• users can create their own applications (WIP)
• network computing, software-as-a-service business models, cloud computing
• open technologies, open-source software
• open identity
• Semantic Web
• distributed databases
• natural language processing
