Will Semantic Web Be Web 3.0?

I have been a user of the World Wide Web since it began, when Mosaic was the only graphical web browser. I have followed its development all along the way. I honestly can’t recall anyone predicting Web 2.0. I also don’t believe that Web 2.0 is really any different than previous web activity or even pre-web networked computer activity. What we are doing hasn’t changed, how we are doing it has. New technology has permitted new software applications, that’s all. Ajax and Mashups are making new applications easier to create. But, back to the question stated in the subject, I don’t believe that Semantic Web is next.

Access to information from a cellphone will form the next wave. Cellphones are becoming/replacing PC’s with their power and significance. Mobile Web is what’s next. If you want to make money in the short-term with a web application, make it mobile. If you have long-term vision and long-term financing create the Semantic Web.
