Collective Filtering
The web is vast. How do we effectively and efficiently filter through all the filler?
Wikis – a trusted group of editors can collect and post resources and research in a particular field of interest.
Social Networks – a large, chosen cohort of peers or friends who follow similar interest will provide a wider selection of relevant information. This network can also be used as a “lifeline”.

Mashups
So you’ve got a few great tools you use. Your blog is all set up, you’re using social bookmarking, you’ve got the family photos on Flickr, and your friends are being updated regularly by your status updates…phew!
If this is starting to sound like a lot of running around you might be ready to look into doing the Mash!

Mashups
Combine tools in one location to create efficiency in your web activities
Embedding one web application into another Place a YouTube video in a Blog post Have your Blog posts tweeted
automatically Combine your Twitter posts and your
facebook status updates Post an interactive Google Map in your
Wiki

MashupsHow does this magic happen?
Mashups make use of what programmers call “code reuse”. Snippets of HTML code are provided for copying and pasting. The act of copying and pasting code into another site is called “Embedding”. Common forms of this code are provided as “Widgets”, sometimes known as “gadgets” or “applets”

How do we keep up with the web as it changes? You’re in the right place to find out You’ve got the tools that will help
inform You will determine the shape of the
web

Web 1.0 vs. Web 2.0 vs. Web 3.0
Web 1.0 Web 2.0 Web 3.0 & Beyond
Content developer driven
User as content developer
Computer as content developer
User goes to the web to retrieve information
User goes to the web to contribute information
Web becomes Ubiquitous in our lives

Moving Towards Web 3.0
There are a few emerging trends that most people agree will help define the World Wide Web of the Future
The Semantic Web Mobile Technologies Cloud Computing
![Page 17: Introduction to Emerging Technologies: Day Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555671b7d8b42a144c8b5187/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
It’s All SemanticsThe Web Finally “Gets” Me
Semantics refers to the meaning of a sentence whereas Syntax refers to characters used.
“I love the Internet.” The meaning or semantics behind this statement is that I enjoy having access to information and applications through an online environment. The Syntax is the letters and punctuation I’ve chosen to write it. If we change the Syntax of this statement to be,
“I the Internet.”I’ve changed the Syntax, but not the Semantics of the sentence.
![Page 18: Introduction to Emerging Technologies: Day Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555671b7d8b42a144c8b5187/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Computers Don’t Get the Joke
The Problem Computers understand Syntax, but
not Semantics When you search for your favorite
band, you may get results of upcoming shows, new albums, fan clubs, or pictures, but only you can decipher the semantics or meaning of these web pages.
![Page 19: Introduction to Emerging Technologies: Day Two](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555671b7d8b42a144c8b5187/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
So What If Computers Got The Joke?
The Possibilities Computers that understand
semantics would better understand how to deliver content to you.
They would also be more able to work with other applications to use that content for things like buying tickets or exporting concert dates to your calendar.
