Back in the Saddle

Back at work and into finishing 23 Things.

While looking into Technorati, I discovered that Web 2 is moving into Web 3.

This site has some very helpful information about Web 1, which was motivated by commerce, eBay, Netflix, Amazon, etc.

This author describes the makeup of Web 2 as being a vertical structure. The only example given is a site called SideStep, which explores more than 200 websites for travel information. [a new one for my travel explorations]. I am guessing that in this context "vertical" means a very straight search process with a focused purpose.

If I understand correctly, Web 3 will be able to pursue many levels of
"context". The author gives an example of creating a personal profile that takes advantage of "content", "commerce", and "context".

With any kind of luck, I will learn enough thru the 23 Things to be ready to tackle Web 3.
