Some people ask what is web 3.0.
Here is a simple definition: web 3.0 = “The network understands you”.
Web 3.0 is based on the concept of semantic web. Content is tagged, it can be transferred across websites. Today, if a search agent looks for information, it needs to parse the text of the webpages that provide the information. In web 3.0, websites will be able to transact information, as if it was a huge database.
So, what is in it for users? Basically, this structure will enable to provide you the contents you are looking for. When you google a restaurant address, you will no longer searching a text string but an actual address. Supposedly, you’ll get better and faster results, and a bunch of added functionality — e.g. when your browser knows what are you dealing with, it might propose a map, a cab or to make a reservation.
You could start your own web 3.0 right now…
