The best Web applications. Read/WriteWeb: 10 Future Web Trends. We're well into the current era of the Web, commonly referred to as Web 2.0. Features of this phase of the Web include search, social networks, online media (music, video, etc), content aggregation and syndication (RSS), mashups (APIs), and much more. Currently the Web is still mostly accessed via a PC, but we're starting to see more Web excitement from mobile devices (e.g. iPhone) and television sets (e.g.
XBox Live 360). What then can we expect from the next 10 or so years on the Web? As NatC commented in this week's poll, the biggest impact of the Web in 10 years time won't necessarily be via a computer screen - "your online activity will be mixed with your presence, travels, objects you buy or act with. " Bearing all that in mind, here are 10 Web trends to look out for over the next 10 years... 1. Sir Tim Berners-Lee's vision for a Semantic Web has been The Next Big Thing for a long time now. So when will the Semantic Web arrive?

RE: Tiedotteet: Tulevaisuuden muovaajat ja sisällön generoijat: menestyksekkään verkkopalvelun kriittiset tekijät. 2ndhead selvitti elo-syyskuussa 2007 TNS Gallup Oy:llä teettämässään tutkimuksessa verkon roolia kuluttajien arjessa. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin ensi kertaa verkkopalveluiden yhteydessä TNS:n globaalia FutureView business solution -tutkimusratkaisua, joka luokittelee kuluttajat viiteen ryhmään.
Näistä ryhmistä merkittävin on Tulevaisuuden muovaajat (Future Shapers). Tulevaisuuden muovaajat ovat uusien ideoiden puolestapuhujia, levittävät sanaa uutuuksista ja ovat tiennäyttäjiä markkinoilla. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin lisäksi Web 2.0 -teemaan liittyviä asioita ja kuluttajien itsensä generoimaa sisältöä verkkopalveluissa. Kolmantena painopistealueena tutkimuksessa oli sivustojen arviointi, jonka avulla selvitettiin eri sivustojen vahvuuksia ja kehityskohteita. Tulevaisuuden muovaajat ovat internet-aktiivisuudessa jopa kaksi-kolme kertaa keskimääräistä internet-käyttäjää aktiivisempia. . - Tutkimus nosti esille myös kuluttajien itse tuottaman sisällön merkityksen. Lisätietoja tutkimuksesta: Web 2.0 in Libraries: Theory and Practice, Part 1. Web 3.0: When Web Sites Become Web Services/Alex Iskold. Today's Web has terabytes of information available to humans, but hidden from computers.
It is a paradox that information is stuck inside HTML pages, formatted in esoteric ways that are difficult for machines to process. The so called Web 3.0, which is likely to be a pre-cursor of the real semantic web, is going to change this. What we mean by 'Web 3.0' is that major web sites are going to be transformed into web services - and will effectively expose their information to the world.
The transformation will happen in one of two ways. Some web sites will follow the example of Amazon, del.icio.us and Flickr and will offer their information via a REST API. Others will try to keep their information proprietary, but it will be opened via mashups created using services like Dapper, Teqlo and Yahoo! Pipes. The Amazon E-Commerce API - open access to Amazon's catalog We have written here before about Amazon's visionary WebOS strategy.
Why has Amazon offered this service completely free? Conclusion. Web 2.0 Summit 2007: Mary Meeker and Internet Trends. One of my favorite parts of the Web 2.0 conferences run by O'Reilly/CMP is the 15 minute quickfire presentation done every year by Mary Meeker. There is always a wealth of fascinating data about Web trends and products, which Meeker hits you with at a mllion miles an hour. Luckily in this case her presentation was up on the Morgan Stanley website when she came on stage, so I got to listen instead of frantically typing soundbotes. This year there were 48 slides (a record for Meeker at Web 2.0!) And you can download them here. Along with the usual trends such as mobile uptake and China growth (which are present in all Meeker presentations at Web 2.0), here are some of the lesser known trends that I learned about: We're now in two cycles in the "Cloud" age - broadband and wireless.
Some interesting data points this year about the growth in Enterprise web 2.0. The following slide regarding Internet trends is worth highlighting in its entirity: Overall, some fantastic data points as usual. WebNary. 2006 Web Technology Trends. It's December already and so it's about that time to reflect on what has happened in Web Technology during 2006 - and ponder what 2007 may bring. Over the next few weeks Read/WriteWeb is going to publish some in-depth posts analyzing the trends and new products we've seen in 2006, as well as musing on some specific things we'll probably see in 2007.
To kick this series off, here is an overview of some high level trends from 2006. In our next post, we'll make predictions for 2007. We're also looking for YOUR feedback, to ensure that what we cover over the next few weeks is complete. I have to thank kiwi journalist Mark Evans for the inspiration for this series. Mark recently had an article published in Management Magazine that outlined Web trends for 2006 and 2007. 2006 Review - Undoubtedly 2006 has been the year of the social network. . - RSS continues to inch towards the mainstream - Yahoo integrated it into Y! - On the other big companies. . . . - Lots of bigco partnering.
2007 Web Predictions. Written by Richard MacManus, Ebrahim Ezzy, Emre Sokullu, Alex Iskold and Rudy De Waele. Also John Milan wanted to contribute, but unfortunately got caught up in the Seattle storm - so best wishes to John and all our Seattle readers. In our previous post we reviewed the Web trends of 2006, noting trends such as the hyper-growth of social networks, the push of RSS into the mainstream, consumerization of the enterprise, and the continued rise of the read/write Web.
In this post we look forward to 2007 and ruminate on what trends will be important over the coming year. RSS, Structured Data - RSS will go mainstream in a big way next year - not only integrated into Microsoft's new Vista OS, but also fully integrated into Yahoo Mail when it comes out of beta (the Ajax version) . - Related to the above, structured data will be a big trend next year - see our post on Google's structured data play from September this year.

Web Development Browsers Multimedia. 3 Kinds of Value in Networks** In my work with social network development, we're talking about 3 kinds of value people bring to their networks, that shape the quality of their connections. Asset value is talent and resources. Positional value is awareness of the network and access to assets. Generative value is the ability and willingness to engage strengths in trust building and collaboration. Strong networks not only have people who bring each of these kinds of value, they have people who bring 2 or 3 kinds of value. What we refer to as "network weavers" are often people with positional and generative value, and sometimes asset value although asset value is not a requirement for network weavers. Generative value is the most important of all 3 because it drives the kind of inclusion and connectivity that increases a network's net (pardon the pun) asset and positional value.
The good news is that we now know exactly how to help people and networks develop their capacities for generative value.

Facebook. O'Reilly -- What Is Web 2.0. By Tim O'Reilly 09/30/2005 Oct. 2009: Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle answer the question of "What's next for Web 2.0? " in Web Squared: Web 2.0 Five Years On. The bursting of the dot-com bubble in the fall of 2001 marked a turning point for the web.
Many people concluded that the web was overhyped, when in fact bubbles and consequent shakeouts appear to be a common feature of all technological revolutions. Shakeouts typically mark the point at which an ascendant technology is ready to take its place at center stage. The concept of "Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. In the year and a half since, the term "Web 2.0" has clearly taken hold, with more than 9.5 million citations in Google.
This article is an attempt to clarify just what we mean by Web 2.0. In our initial brainstorming, we formulated our sense of Web 2.0 by example: The list went on and on. 1.
