How does it differ from web 3.0?

Many people call web 3.0 the semantic web as they are very similar. As by adding semantic web to web 2.0 then you are close to achieving web 3.0. Web 3.0 is a 'webservice' that will expose all information to the world.
Web 3.0 is alot more advanced than the semantic web and will eventually replace web 2.0. It will essentially be a web service in which the web will understand and be able to meet your requests. Web 3.0 will almost build up a memory and will store information entered by the human and when you search for things online it will offer choices that suit your taste.
There are many similarities between the semantic web and web 3.0 and so it was hard to fnd differences and on the web many websites have stated them as the same thing but i would say that web 3.0 is more advanced than the semnatic web and is more personalised than the semantic web. The semantic web is almost the stage before web 3.0 and will probably be achievable before we reach web 3.0. Web 3.0 also gives results personal to the user where as the semantic web gives all of the results possible even though both of them give information to the world.

  1. My understanding is the other way round to yours. Web 3.0 is nearer, because semantics is still largely theory and some believe it will never be really possible because of the technological difficulties involved.

    3.0, with its ubiquitous computing and 'personalisation' based on social tagging and tracking network usage is arguably becoming a reality as more people get 'web-n-walk' facilities that put the web on their phone or notebook.
