Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is the new phase of evolution in Web. “Web 3.0” is the suggested naming this third-generation of the Web. It is suggested by John markoff of the New York Times in 2006 .According to lifeboat.com/ex/web.3.0 is can might also be called ‘the intelligent Web’ such as those using semantic web, microformats, natural language search, data-mining, machine learning, recommendation agents, and artificial intelligence technologies which emphasize machine-facilitated understanding of information in order to provide a more productive and intuitive user experience.  As I was researching I also found how the Web 3.0 will work in http://computer.howstuffworks.com/web-30.htm the internet experts say that when you searched something you don’t need to put multiple searches, you can type a complex sentence or two in your Web 3.0 browser then it will do the search just by itself. They also believe that Web 3.0 will act like a personal assistant. The browser will know what you are interested in. When you keep using the browser it will learn more about you and you don’t need to be specific with your questions when searching. It is not sure when the Web 3.0 will came out but they said it is almost here. Another website that I found that is really interesting is http://webtrends.about.com/od/web20/a/what-is-web-30.htm. They have a lot of ideas about Web 3.0 that we can read. It is like every question that can pop up in your head about Web 3.0 is here. Like what When Will Web 3.0 Begin? What Will Web 3.0 Be Like? They also describe Web 3.0 in many different ways. The Artificially Intelligent Web 3.0 one of the example mention is that social bookmarking as a search engine it can provide more intelligent results.  They also describe Web 3.0 as a Marketing term they concluded that maybe this is most likely way that we will use the Web 3.0.

Using flickr

I created a slideshow on flickr, the pictures are all related to my blog topic "Philippines". I took these pictures back when I was still staying in the Philippines. The first picture is one of the resort in the Philippines located by our province. I uploaded it because in the Philippines there are a lot of resort that you can go to almost everywhere.  The second picture is the Mall of Asia, the 9th largest mall in Asia, I chose this because it is very relaxing to go here there's a lot of things you can do. The third one is the University of Santo Tomas, it was found on April 1611 and it has the oldest extant university charter in the Philippines and in Asia.  Chose this picture because not only it is historical but they also teach a high quality of education.  The last picture is a beach found in Cebu. This picture represents that there are a lot of beach that you can visit in the Philippines.  Here is the link to my slideshow on flickr https://www.flickr.com//photos/sfvelasco/sets/72157649387478601/show/
