The CEO of Google gave an interesting answer at the Seoul Digital Forum when asked what defines Web 3.0. I guess I have my own answer. I feel his was either considerately dumbed down, or, Eric Schmidt is both really lucky and really stupid. My guess is, he was dumbing it down for the audience when he said AJAX was what defined Web 2.0. Anyway, here are my definitions, feel free to re-use them…

Web 1.0: Sociality of an individual with stores of data via Web-based interface. We can understand this as a reflection of the benefits of the “Intelligence of One” concept.

Web 2.0: Sociality of an individuals with stores of data to produce aggregate data stores via a Web-based interface. We can understand this as a reflection of the benefits of the “Intelligence of Swarms” concept.

Web 3.0: Sociality of data and processes. Data and Applications which can leverage any component of each others processing or identity. We can understand this as a reflection of the benefits of the “Artificial Intelligence” concept.
