what will/should web 3.0 be about?

Many people believe that Web 3.0 will be a "semantic web." This means that the web would be able to understand the relationship between different pieces of information and provide better connections to what users are looking for. One way of doing this would be to add "metadata" to pages that tell how the information on this page is related to information on other pages. This metadata could be read by browsers and search engines and would provide intelligent searches. A good example of the semantic web would be if you typed a question into Google, and Google found results that actually answer that question instead of just pages that contain the search terms.

Web 3.0 would also be a more personalized web. Users would be able to customize many of the sites they visit to their liking. A good example of this would be iGoogle, which lets you customize the colour of your own Google page and lets you add whatever widgets you want to see. Another example would be all the different themes that you could choose to personalize Firefox or Chrome with. Web 3.0 would be all about "me, me, me."

I also think Web 3.0 would be the "mobile web" because the number of people accessing the web through their phones or tablets is always increasing. This means that websites would have to be made mobile-friendly so people can still use the functionality of the site even though their on their phone. When accessed through mobile devices, web advertisements could be targeted to users depending on their locations. For example, if there is a McDonald's in your area, then when you browse my site on your phone, it would give you an ad for that McDonalds. I also think websites need to find other ways to monetize themselves because an increasing number of people are using Adblock, which blocks all advertisements on a webpage.
