7.21.09 *...Web Squared. 1990-2004 was the match being struck; 2005-2009 was the fuse; and 2010 will be the explosion. *...we're constantly asked about "Web 3.0." Is it the semantic web? The sentient web? Is it the social web? The mobile web? Is it some form of virtual reality? It is all of those, and more. *...successful network applications are systems for harnessing collective intelligence. *The question before us is this: Is the Web getting smarter as it grows up? *The Web is growing up, and we are all its collective parents. *Key takeaway: A key competency of the Web 2.0 era is discovering implied metadata, and then building a database to capture that metadata and/or foster an ecosystem around it. *The Net is getting smarter faster than you might think. *The increasing richness of both sensor data and machine learning will lead to new frontiers in creative expression and imaginative reconstruction of the world. *All of these breakthroughs are reflections of the fact noted by Mike Kuniavsky of ThingM, that real world objects have "information shadows" in cyberspace. *In adding value for ourselves, we are adding value to the social web as well. Our devices extend us, and we extend them.

Our devices extend us, and we extend them. *Data analysis, visualization, and other techniques for seeing patterns in data are going to be an increasingly valuable skillset. Employers take notice. *Anyone who searches Twitter on a trending topic has to be struck by the message: "See what's happening right now" followed, a few moments later by "42 more results since you started searching. Refresh to see them." *Businesses must learn to harness real-time data as key signals that inform a far more efficient feedback loop for product development, customer service, and resource allocation. *But 2009 marks a pivot point in the history of the Web. It's time to leverage the true power of the platform we've built. The Web is no longer an industry unto itself - the Web is now the world. *...we must take the Web to another
