Web3.0=(4C + P + VS)

Many people had already heard of the concept named Web 3.0. This concept was first introduced by Dan Gillmor in 2005. It is one of the terms used to describe the evolutionary stage of the Web that follows Web 2.0. Since Web 3.0 is still a big concept, which has not been standardized yet, from now on, there are so many definitions for Web 3.0. We can have a look at what is mentioned on Wiki :" Web 3.0, a phrase coined by John Markoff of the New York Times in 2006, refers to a supposed third generation of Internet-based services that collectively comprise what might be called 'the intelligent Web'—such as those using semantic web, microformats, natural language search, data-mining, machine learning, recommendation agents, and artificial intelligence technologies—which emphasize machine--facilitated understanding of information in order to provide a more productive and intuitive user experience."

Today, I found an other interesting article, and the author deemed that the formula, Web3.0=(4C + P + VS),is the future of internet. The terminology of this formula are listed below:
3C = Content, Commerce, Community
4th C = Context
P = Personalization
VS = Vertical Search

In Web 1.0, commerce and content had been the driving force, the companies like Amazon and eBay is produced in this background. In Web 2.0, Community became the most popular force and produced company like Myspace, Facebook. At the same period, vertical search, like Sidestep for travel has gained a great deal of investment. In Web 3.0, personalization will be a focus and thus organizing principle of Context will be greatly developed. Internet will be built based on information aggregation and people’s behavior and habit.
I think web 3.0 will replace web 2.o rapidly in the near future. It is destined to bring us a considerable number of opportunities for business. There are some other interesting readings:
