- Web 3.0 Could Lead to E-Government That Anticipates Citizens' Needs
- By Andy Opsahl. Government Technology, February 1, 2011. "'Web 3.0' is an IT buzzword that's appearing with greater frequency among the state and local government IT community. Explanations differ as to what it means in terms of implementation, but the overarching concept is 'machine-to-machine' communication on the Internet. This means that in a growing number of instances, software applications — not the human end-users — will evaluate the usefulness of Web page content, online data and sensor information. Where Web 2.0 was about users contributing data manually and interacting with one another regarding that data, Web 3.0 is focused on applications that search on behalf of users for data that's likely to be of interest. For instance, imagine Person A reveals his favorite recording artists on his Facebook account. Person B becomes a Facebook friend of Person A and later listens to one of those recording artists on Internet radio website Pandora.com. Having combed Facebook, Pandora alerts Person B that Person A likes that recording artist. Instead of Person B wondering if such a commonality exists and seeking out the answer, Pandora searches the Web and notices the commonality on behalf of Person B..."

- Resolving the contradictions between web services, clouds, and open source
- Part 1 of the series, "What are the chances for a free software cloud?" by Andy Oram. O'Reilly Radar, 13 December 2010. "... The trend toward remote computing--web services and the vaguely defined cloud computing--promises another appealing kind of freedom: freedom from having to buy server hardware and set up operations, freedom from installations and patches and upgrades, freedom in general from administrative tasks. Of course, these advantages are merely convenience, not the kind of freedom championed by the free software movement. Together with the mobile revolution (not just programs on cell phones, but all kinds of sensors, cameras, robots, and specialized devices for recording and transmitting information) free software and remote computing are creating new environments for us to understand information, ourselves, and each other..."

- IT managers shy away from web 2.0
- By Phil Dobbie, ZDNet Australia, November 17, 2010. "Web 2.0 has transformed the use of web services, but IT managers seem only partially interested, particularly those in government. You have to assume that ubiquitous high-speed internet — if the government manages to pull it off — will provide a whole new way for companies to interact with customers and for employees to collaborate. Yet web services ranks sixth in the pecking order of top challenges in this year's ZDNet IT Priorities survey..."

- 10 Lessons for Gov 2.0 from Web 2.0
- How can the power of the web solve the world's most pressing problems? by Alex Howard. O'Reilly Radar, 6 October 2010. "... So what does Web 2.0 mean to Gov 2.0? Many aspects cannot be discerned at this point, but one thing is certainly clear: It's about all of us. Creating a smarter, more innovative government matters to every citizen. In their analysis of "Web 2.0 five years on, John Battelle and Tim O'Reilly wrote that "if we are going to solve the world's most pressing problems, we must put the power of the web to work -- its technologies, its business models, and perhaps most importantly, its philosophies of openness, collective intelligence, and transparency. And to do that, we must take the web to another level. We can't afford incremental evolution anymore."..."
