So what do you thing will be the next shift in the Web?

Your thoughts, your opinions

[cube3]

i think its gona take awhile before it move on to 3.0

Online applications that can be accessed by desktop apps, web browsers, mobile devices, ect. Basically you will not be restricted to how you access information whether it's videos, photos, email, or company data.

Example:
You are working on a spread sheet in MS Excel on your desktop computer in your office. You go out to lunch and remember some changes that you need to make. Instead of writing down the changes or carrying your laptop around, you tap into the Excel file through your cell phone or PDA device. You make the changes and the updates are viewable on your desktop when you return.

Onecorp, thats the present, or actually the past if you ask me, im talking bout the future.

This truely is Web 3.0 :

Controll what your tv shows you. Choose when and where your favortie programms will show. Also think about this, changing the course of your tv show. An interactive tv show, you choose whos going to live whos going to die . Plus with this way, business men/or women not to be sexist, you can have targetted traffic tv viewers.

This is truly the meaning of an Web 3.0 example

Great ideas everyone. However, the ability in coming up with your own story/actors/events is in the long-term future if not never.

I actually know that microsoft plans to develop this software within the next decade. It should be very intresting

[TheCompany]

I highly doubt that but if so great for them!

i dont wanna choose who is going to live and die I want to be told a story be a genius story teller!!


tv, the internet, the pc and the phone are going to become so entwined it will be hard to tell where one starts and the other begins. i guess we know that

The way i consider this issue is like this;

The internet, is an obsolete term for the purpose of predicting where to make money.

It's better to start thinking in terms of different webs.

In other words, the internet is splitting into different webs, and each web will have it's own next googles.

Near Web. This is what you have sitting at your desk staring at your PC. There, winners here have already been largely decided, but if there were new ones, I'd bet they were some kind of an "identity management" company.

Far Web. This is the internet in your living room, and the world at large (cars, shopping malls etc). Whilst this has not developed very well, we'll see a lot of winners here, including companies like brightcove.

Mobile Web. That's pretty obvious. Mobile internet access is in about the same state that near web access was 10 years ago. It's pretty hopeless. Expect new winners to emerge on mobile net - everything from domain registrars, search engines and online market places.

Evernet. This is what the internet will evolve into - tangle of near, far and mobile webs

Important points: Founders will find it useful to define them selves as "near web entrepreneurs" rather than "internet entrepreneurs" and they will find opportunity in transferring near web products and services to other webs

[CP Mr Ofevaw]

Near-web has been "dead" for awhile. It "died" before YouTube, and to some extent it "died" before Google. Thinking a market is dead is the fastest way to miss new opportunities.

While the days of mega-billion-dollar IPO's might be coming to a fast close, I think there is definitely room for mega-million-dollar acquisitions or profit generators.

[akula]

near web is a bitch of an industry

as far as non porn goes, no one (granted few exceptions) is making any serious money in this space

the fact is, the internet is basically used for people to send and receive email

everything else is just a peripheral activity popular with the young and the geeky
