Web 3.0 is about taming the deluge of data.: The Social Path

Web 3.0 is about taming the deluge of data.: The Social Path:
"So what will define Web 3.0?

The best explanation I've heard was from Andrew Keen, author of 'The Cult of the Amateur.' In a recent Social Media Club presentation here in Birmingham, Andrew broke out the Web's history like this:

Web 1.0: Mainstream media and retailers dominate, using traditional approaches to broadcasting and sales.

Web 2.0: Blogging, peer-to-peer sharing and Google empower the masses to communicate openly. The old guard struggles to remain relevant.

Web 3.0: Mainstreaming of social media creates a constant flow of information. Challenge for users and businesses alike is to harness the flood without drowning."
