Web 3.0 Technologies

Our company defines Web 3.0 as the seamless integration of online experiences with offline experiences. Examples: television, stereos and devices connected to the Internet. Our Community Driven Brands are good examples, in which community members help develop products online for distribution to retailers worldwide; consumers can then give send in their opinions online by taking a picture of special type of bar code with their cell phones.

Furthermore, we believe Web 3.0 makes the Internet more personalized. Our blog portal technology (in beta stage) allows users to create their own personalized mini-portal, like YAHOO! (example: http://JohnSmith.musicblog.cc), as easy as creating a blog. All the blog portals are connected to our social network to allow people to make firends with one another. Why go to YAHOO! when you can create your own YAHOO!

Examples of Future Web 3.0 Ideas

Example 1: before you enter a restaurant, you can find our opinions about the restaurant via your GPS cell phone, just by pointing at the restaurant. Your cell phone intelligently helps you find the answers and relevant information, from data stored on the Internet. After eating at the restaurant, you can immediately add your own opinion from your cell phone, complete with photos.

Example 2: in Japan, when you go to a supermarket, you can take a picture with your cell phone of a special type of barcode, which will immediately provide you with information about the product, such as detailed product information, opinions, nutritionist ratings, manufacturing information, coupons and specials. We suggest that with Web 3.0 it can even go further, the consumer can send feedback directly to the manufacturer, such as items being our of stock ...etc. and share ideas. This is what we are implementing for our Community Driven Brands.

Web 2.0 came to describe almost any site, service, or technology (example: blogs, WIKIS, AJAX, podcasts, Ruby on Rails, FLIKR, YOUTUBE, del.icio.us and, MYSPACE ) that promoted sharing, collaboration and interactive web pages, right down to the Net's grass roots, such as our green social network.

Web 3.0 technologies could mean many things, and is just being defined. Nobody knows for sure how it will look like in the future.

To many, Web 3.0 is something called the Semantic Web, a term coined by Tim Berners-Lee, the man who invented the (first) World Wide Web. In essence, the Semantic Web is a place where machines can read Web pages much as we humans read them, a place where search engines and software agents can better troll the Net and find what we're looking for. "It's a set of standards that turns the Web into one big database," says Nova Spivack, CEO of Radar Networks, one of the leading voices of this new-age Internet. Examples includes: XML, RDF.

At the same Technet Summit, Reed Hastings,founder and CEO of Netflix stated a simpler formula for defining the phases of the Web:Web 1.0 was dial-up, 50K average bandwidth, Web 2.0 is an average 1 megabit of bandwidth and Web 3.0 will be 10 megabits of bandwidth all the time, which will be the full video Web, and that will feel like Web 3.0.

Wikipedia says, where Web 1.0 was a "read-only" web, with content being produced by in large by the organizations backing any given site, and Web 2.0 was an extension into the "read-write" web that engaged users in an active role, Web 3.0 could extend this one step further by allowing people to modify the site itself.


We do not really care what terms people use, Web 1.0, Web 2.0, or Web 3.0 because we believe it is all hype. Our philosophy in to developing technology is to simplify people's lives and to make it more creative. The best technology is when people are able to use the technology without even thinking about the technology behind it.
