Major Difference between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 Technologies

Web 2.0 and 3.0 refers to the evolution of internet web pages and applications.

Web 2.0 refers to the current generation of the Internet wherein websites provide applications facilitating interactive information sharing

with a user-centered design. A few examples include online social networks (Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube), wikis, blogs, Google Docs,

etc. Web 2.0 tools are those you'll hear about in today's offices.

Web 3.0 is a semantic term denoting the next phase of internet programming that some are calling "the intelligent web". Think artificial

intelligence technologies.

Definitions of Web 3.0 vary greatly. Some believe its most important features are the Semantic Web and personalization. Focusing on

the computer elements, Web 3.0 is where "the computer is generating new information", rather than humans.
