Even as Web 2.0 is becoming accepted, the debates are raging over what Web 3.0 will be. More importantly, how Web 3.0 will impact both consumers and businesses on the web? If Web 2.0 is taken as the “read-write” web, then Web 3.0 will be the “data” web.

It is important to remember that changes in the web are evolutionary not revolutionary. Past trends will continue and new technologies will become available at an even faster rate.

So what is the vision for Web 3.0? Information access will be easier the “Semantic Web” being developed. Web software agents will find, share and integrate information for searches and according to user profiles. Data will be made available from multiple sources simultaneously and applications will speak to each other directly, and for broader searches for information.

This means you may be able to search for all the hard to find ingredients for a recipe and locate the closest store that carries all of them. You will be able look at available fashions from multiple stores just in your size.

Other visions for Web 3.0 include 10 megabits of bandwidth all the time. This would make video available all the time. This would create the “video web.”

Social networking in the form of blogging is expected to continue growth and be very important to both consumers and business marketing. Web 3.0 is certain to bring more information together faster for consumers. Businesses will need to be evolving and changing if they expect to be leaders in their market.
