In a recent article on Entrepreneur.com, Mark Henricks explains how the internet is already in a transition from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0. A business owner by the name of Nova Spivack has begun to plan ahead for Web 3.0. This next generation of web technology will hopefully launch his new products and ideas ahead of his competitors. The idea behind Web 3.0 is that is encompasses all of what Web 2.0 is and adds the notion of the computer and the internet working in tandem to do more work on your behalf. It will make information completely and universally integrated and accessible by everyone. Some examples of what is already being used and what is still being produced is tagging. If tags were present on all web pages and created using a set system, everything on the web would be clean and uniform making search much easier. Also, your computer's calendar could notify you when a payment has to be made or when a check will clear, making money management easier. The article points out that it will be at least 2-3 years before a lot of these options will be available.
It is apparent to me that Web 3.0 is just Web 2.0. Web 2.0 will and should touch base on these things in the future. The article doesn't explain what makes these particular advances a new "web". Whatever you want to call it, I am interested to see how people and businesses around the world will react and conform to this. The article also points out that Google is not perfect and a much better search engine will be made. I'll see it when I believe it.

Sramana Mitra has developed a compelling definition of Web 3.0. Please read this: Web 3.0 = (4C + P + VS). And for a series of examples, you can see her analysis of the Personal Finance category from a Web 3.0 perspective.
