I'd put it this way: Web 1.0 were the first static web pages, web 2.0 were user-centered webpages which gave a frame for user-generated-content. Web 3.0 might be open data and webservices pubished in web sites, where every single one might have a unique id so its adressable and easily usable.

Just within the last two weeks this has ramped up as I've met more illustrators and writers and participated in some dynamic discussions on writing via hashtags on twitter. I can sense that this trend will likely only develop further as most people I've met are quite excited to meet other dynamic professionals in their field and share timely and meaningful ideas and info.

My research always lead to different forms of taxonomy being used by developers and designers to identify things based on something like an ISBN. I also was in the belief that it would link the same objects across the internet (including ideas and people). I do agree with you that twitter is extremely interesting in the fact that you have at your disposal a phone book of people with their interests and location listed rather than a meaningless number. This is helping to build much stronger networks of communication. The concept of "tweet ups" has sprang from this idea because you obviously want to meet these people that share your interests. While twitter accomplishes a number of interesting things (parsing down information, creating stronger networks, connecting people of similar interests, etc), I don't believe that it's any more than what people make of it. For that reason I don't think it's a bridge between web 2.0 and web 3.0. -Mike Garrett I had imagined web 3.0 to be much different.
