Web 2.0 (1999-present) enabled user interactivity and participation through blogs, social media, and user-generated content. Web 3.0 (future) will incorporate artificial intelligence for personalized, contextual search capabilities and a semantic web that software agents can process.

Difference Between Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.

Like any other technology, the web is evolving and it is evolving rather quickly. Due to lack of
standards, there seems to be a little bewilderment regarding its evolution and versions but the
most acceptable stages of evolution are as follows:
 Web 1.0
 Web 2.0
 Web 3.0 (Also known as Semantic Web)

So, what is the difference between these versions?

Web 1.0: The Internet before 1999, experts call it Read-Only era. The average Internet user's
role was limited only to reading the information presented to him. The best examples are
millions of static websites, which mushroomed during the.com boom. There was no active
communication or information flow from consumer of the information to producer of the
information.

Web 2.0: The lack of active interaction of common user with the web lead to the birth of Web
2.0. The year 1999 marked the beginning of a Read-Write-Publish era with notable
contributions from LiveJournal (Launched in April, 1999) and Blogger (Launched in August,
1999). Now even a non-technical user can actively interact & contribute to the web using
different blog platforms. This era empowered the common user with a few new concepts viz.
Blog, Social-Media & Video-Streaming. Publishing your content is only a few clicks away! Few
remarkable developments of Web 2.0 are Twitter, YouTube, eZineArticles, Flickr and
Facebook.

Web 3.0: It seems we have everything whatever we had wished for in Web 2.0, but it is way
behind when it comes to intelligence. Perhaps a six-year-old child has better analytical
abilities than the existing search technologies! Keyword based search of web 2.0 resulted in
an information overload. The following attributes are going to be a part of Web 3.0:
 Contextual Search
 Tailor made Search
 Personalized Search
 Evolution of 3D Web
 Deductive Reasoning

Web 1.0: In the beginning of web the information published in a static form well designed with
the text and images. The main features of web w.1.0 are hyper-linking and book marking of
the web pages. There are some design elements of web 1.0 –

o HTML based Static page.


o It consists of framesets.
o Online guestbook.
o HTML form sent through email.

O’Reilly first introduced the term Web 2.0 during the brainstorming discussion MediaLive
International. The information available in this form is quite different from the past web1.0. It
began in 2002 with new ideas to exchange as well as share the content such as Wiki,
Weblogs, Widgets, and Tagging etc.

Key difference between web1.0 and web2.0

In Web 1.0 it is only for read. But in web2.0 you can express yourself by writing.
The former was only for corporate bodies. And the later is about you and your communities.

In web.20 you not only interact with site and Webmaster you can also communicate with
others who access that website.
Web 1.0 was the age of one and only language i.e. HTML web 2.0 is the field of XML.
While web1.0 was depended on advertising, web 2.0 has been popularized by word of mouth.
Previously was meant for website but web 2.0 is not for site it is also about blogs.
In Web 1.0 there was nothing to exchange. Everything was about one way. Through the
emergence of web 2.0 you can exchange your thoughts with other and easily converse with
them.

The Web 3.0 could be defined as semantic web, personalization like iGoogle, My Yahoo etc.
The semantic web is a more developed extension of WWW. Wit the help of this technology
the web content can be conveyed not only in form of natural language, but also be readable
by software agent which letting them to locate, share and assemble information more easily.
The concept comes out from Sir Tim Berners-Lee the director of W3C with the vision to make
the web medium for exchanging the data, information knowledge.
