Examples of Web3.0 Features

One early example is the BlueOrganizer from AdaptiveBlue (http://www.adaptiveblue.com/). In certain situations, when you visit a Web page, this browser plug-in can understand what the page is about, automatically retrieving related information from other sites and services. If you visit a movie blog, for instance, and read about a particular film, it immediately links to sites where you can buy or rent that film. "It's what you might call a top-down approach,"

Search Engine 3.0

Rather than providing automatic information retrieval, semantic search engines seek to improve on the Google-like search model we've grown so accustomed to. The idea is to move beyond mere keyword searches to a better understanding of natural-language queries. "Right now, search engines can't tell the difference between Paris Hilton and the Hilton in Paris,"
This kind of natural-language processing has been in development for years, but it, too, has found its way onto the public Web. Semantic search might be one of the key component for Web3.0. —
