So recently I've been watching interview on TC tv with Reid and OReily about future of the web.
I had to disagree with O'Reily on his take (he coined Web 2.0 as read/write). He sad that future (he does not call it 3.0) is all devices connected to the net and "talking" to us. I gave it some thoughts and am unable to find it to be such a huge movement as 2.0 is/was. I mean, I want my fridge to talk with me what's missing in. This way its another thing off my memory's list: I will find out whats missing when shopping, or fridge will order automatically. But if you think about all the work has to be done to make all the equipments compatible with web (whether its your washer dryer, or garage opener, fridge etc), it may actually fail for now.
I think social connections will remain base for 3.0, but I think next big thing will be a demarchy network. In short, if 1.0 was you read the web(site), 2.0 was you manage it (ie. you have a power to accept/decline friend connections that came to your feed, ban others posts on your wall, etc), the 3.0 would be a network where you actually take a huge part in writing that network personally. When actually talking to my Facebook friends, asking what do they think about FB, they mostly say its OK, but they complain on each feature more or less and since there is no better network, they use what they got.
I can think of some voting system (perhaps this will become a major difference between FB and future network and make people move on..) where all participating users vote on features/tools provided to them by that network's software engineers and accordingly to the result, that network has to comply and provide functionality. Compare it to the government (a better version) where it is actually up to voters to choose who will be in charge of shaping state/country policies and therefore in charge of the quality of voters' life. FB Graph gives you a sample, but still not only it is way too complicated for an average Joe to tap in, and requires you to leave the FB site.
