Web 3.0 (prospects for the future)

The concept of Web 3.0 is a nebulous concept about where we envision the future of web technologies.  Eric Schmidt commented on this in 2007 and spoke of applications fitting together and adapting to users need despite being created on MAC or PC technologies.  The part I liked the most about this vision in the concept of users sharing these applications with one another and being able to change the programming as needed.  To me this would allow for a more unified approach to all of the programs we use currently.  One critique  I would have of the current Web 2.0 technologies is that there are multiple systems in place for communications (email, twitter, blogs ..) and we can do better in merging them.  The cloud could also bring in opportunities to bring in each individuals history and files to create smart technologies that could adapt to the user’s interests and behaviors.
