This semester I will focus on features in new browsers (offline web content, security, renaissance of JavaScript, mobile browsers) and web widgets.

Let me know, if you have any other suggestions.

This is what I believe the “killer app” of the semantic web will be. Not just better search engines, but widgets and smart tools that automatically aggregate other web content based on your blog postings, your interests, your travel plans,…

(I wasn’t aware that he is also the creator of the “The Machine is Us/ing Us” video on YouTube.)

On one of the pages linked from his blog I noticed a Google trends (http://www.google.com/trends) graphic. What a great tool!

The graphic for web 3.0 is .
Not a huge uptick for quite a while. I have some new thoughts on it, that I will try to write up in the next few weeks.

Using twitter as a distribution approach is also new to me.

Also check out their blogs and other books. I usually find interesting information on web design and development on their site.

The topic was ‘Web 3.0′. Although the term has showed up more frequently in conferences and on the web, there is no clear understanding yet, what major change will make us refer to a new ‘version number’. Most likely it will be as it happened with web 2.0: we will know it after it happens. My talk focused on the semantic approach and Dr. Kapp talked about the virtual/3D-web as one of the possible directions for the use of the web.

If yes, what will it be? The virtual web? The semantic web?

In this presentation I look at current trends for the next version of the web.

Slides and/or notes will be posted later.
