- 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..."

- The State Of Social Media 2011: Social Is The New Normal
- by Brian Solis. Fast Company, October 17, 2011. "The state of social media is no insignificant affair. Nor is it a conversation relegated to a niche contingent of experts and gurus. Social media is pervasive and it is transforming how people find and share information and how they connect and collaborate with one another. I say that as if I'm removed from the media and cultural (r)evolution that is digital socioeconomics. But in reality, I'm part of it just like everyone else. You and I both know however, that' I'm not saying anything you don't already know..."

- State of the Media: Social Media Report Q3
- The Nielsen Company, 2011. "Social media's popularity continues to grow, connecting people with just about everything they watch and buy. The latest Nielsen insights provide some answers on exactly how powerful this influence is on consumer behavior, both online and off. The value of the time consumers spend online and on social networks and blogs continues to grow, most visible through the influence on purchase decisions. For instance, 60 percent of people who use three or more digital means of research for product purchases learned about a specific brand or retailer from a social networking site..."

- Censoring mobiles and the net: how the West is clamping down
- by Asher Moses. The Age, August 15, 2011. "Seemingly Orwellian moves by Western governments to crack down on the use of technology by citizens are being compared to repressive policies of regimes such as China. After British Prime Minister David Cameron floated the idea of restricting the use of services such as Facebook, Twitter and BlackBerry Messenger to prevent riots, transit authorities in San Francisco late last week shut down mobile phone reception in several underground stations to block would-be demonstrators..."

- Social Networking Gone Wild: Foreclosure via Facebook
- By Tara-Nicholle Nelson. Time Moneland, July 11, 2011. "... there's a trend toward much more distressing messages being delivered via the social network: foreclosure notices. The phenomenon started in 2008, when an Australian court allowed — no, ordered — a lender who was attempting to foreclose on a home to serve notice on the defaulting borrowers via Facebook, as well as at their Canberra home and a backup physical address..."

- 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."..."

- Interface: Where We're Headed with Web 3.0
- Not a gilded age or paradigm shift, but social interaction will increasingly drive business, by William Laurent. Information Management Magazine, July/August 2010. "The ubiquitous buzz about Web 3.0 continues unabated; nevertheless, a clear consensus or definition has not emerged of what Web 3.0 really is, or how the e-enabled world will move from Web 2.0 into a sensational era of super intelligent content and knowledge management services. However, one thing has become clear to me: Web 3.0 will not result in a huge paradigm shift or a gilded age of computing; more likely, it will be a subdued convergence of existing technologies and methodologies with new ones that borrow heavily from the past. Web 3.0 will be a catalyst for a paradigm shift that's at least a few more years away. But it won't result in a sudden brave new world of information management, regardless of what marketing materials and industry thought leaders would have you believe..."
