Sometimes, the best way to learn about something is without using words. Here’s a creative example of a video explaining the difference between Web 1.0 and 2.0, by the clever Not in Words producers:
Now, back to words and some basic drawings, as we move on to Web 3.0 and beyond. What is the Semantic Web, and where can you find out more about it? What are its implications for Web 3.0 and our lives? Here is a basic explanation, “Semantic Web for Noobs,” by Web expert Manu Sporny, President/CEO of Digital Bazaar, Inc.:

This is exciting stuff. I work for an energy neutraceutical company as a Marketing Director and this is the way to go! After meeting after meeting and reading the new rules of marketing and pr I’m so amped to get social media and marketing installed in my company. We are definitely on the right path and with Twitter and trends alike it takes us to the next level and beyond.
A small correction. Tim Berners-Lee can be considered the “Father of the Web”. The internet has existed since early 50. Vint Cerf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vint_Cerf) and Bob Taylor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Taylor_(computer_scientist)) can be considered the “Fathers of the Internet”
I don’t suppose I’ve never learned anything like this before. So nice to see someone with some original thoughts on this subject. I really thank you for starting it. This website is one thing that is needed on the net, someone with a little bit originality.
Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet.
very nice post, i certainly love this website, keep on it
