Web 2.0? Web 2.86 ... 3.1... and beyond

The explosion of blogs, social networks and user-generated media commonly referred to as Web 2.0.

So what’s next? Web 3.0, or the notion of the semantic web, where the Internet evolves from a catalog of information to a smart network combining artificial intelligence, profiling and search capabilities.

O'Reilly editor Nat Torkington had been in Singapore last week, who were here giving the presentations on Web 2.0 and helping the IDA with their plans to foster startups in the country. As many people asked him about the future of Web 2.0--is it a bubble, when will it be replaced by something new, a recent blog post (The Future of Web 2.0) from him has answered that question in great detail.

In his post, future of web will go through the intersting changes till 2022 and experience the changes from web 2.0, web 286 (sounds like Pentium 286),web 3.0 & 3.1,  Web 95, 98, NT, XP and Vista (Sounds like the revolution of the Microsoft Windows).

"The Future of Web 2.0" is an amusing blog post, whether or not you agree with his predictions about Firefox X, IE 13, WebVista, and other fancy terms, it is good to have some idea.
