Originally, the Internet was all about reading pages. Then, in about 2004, Web 2.0 came along: using the Internet became much more interactive and communicative. Now the era of Web 3.0 is upon us – what does it hold?

“Web 3.0 is all about recommendations, free services, intelligent (semantic) searches, and information that’s no longer random data, but tailored, highly intuitive and delivered in real time, writes Dr. Gege Gatt, founder and director of ICON, on his company’s website. 

Gatt presents his list of the six trends that define the new generation of web services. It is worthy of interest partly because of its brevity – could you digest 100 Web 3.0 trends? For each tendency, he also links to a site that serves as an example of the technology in question.

Mobile applications, maps, personal organisers, collaboration, audio and social media intermediaries are the six trends he identifies. Of course, this type of application exists already, because the move towards Web 3.0 is well underway.

It is clear that with applications that seep into every aspect of our life, from what route to take to work to managing our already busy Web 2.0 presence, Web 3.0 is bringing about changes to all personal and professional Internet users
