Blog

Short for ‘web log’

Blogs are web journals, with updates daily, monthly, or anywhere in between

While often considered ‘journals’ blogs don’t always cover personal topics

Many companies and libraries now have blogs to deliver news and industry updates

Semantic WebTo many, Web 3.0 is something called the Semantic Web, a term coined by Tim Berners-Lee.

The Semantic Web is a place where machines can read Web pages much as we humans read them, a place where search engines and software agents can better troll the Net and find what we're looking for.

"It's a set of standards that turns the Web into one big database," says Nova Spivack, CEO of Radar Networks, one of the leading voices of this new-age Internet.

MicroformatsDesigned for humans first and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards (HTML & XML)

Operator is an extension for Firefox that adds the ability to interact with semantic data on web pages, including microformats

The Operator plugin tries to bring the power of microformats to the average user

Cloud ComputingThe term cloud computing probably comes from (at least partly) the use of a cloud image to represent the Internet.

Often used in conjunction with ‘software as a service’ or SaaS

An example of this would be Google Docs and/or Zoho office. Both the applications and the data are stored out in the cloud.

Mashups

A web application that uses content from more than one source to create a single new service displayed in a single graphical interface.

The term “mashup” originally comes from pop music, where people seamlessly combine music from one song with the vocal track from another thereby mashing them together to create something new

TaggingTags are keywords used by people to categorize content they care about

Tags are free form - not based on a controlled vocabulary

Tags are often displayed in Tag Clouds which are bundles of tags with the most common words in the largest fonts

Successful examples include: Flickr and LibraryThing
