SPINNING AN INTRICATE WEB

Imagine thought-control and bio-control for all your web interactions

DeWitt Clinton – the doyen of web technology, simulcasts his imagination on the internet thus, “All data... can be instantaneously streamed any where at any time. Your very experiences, your senses, perhaps even your thoughts, will be broadcast and archived for anyone to download & view... we will be the hive mind, and we collectively will have evolved into something quite unlike anything the world has ever seen.” Maybe not so soon, but DeWitt’s words will surely prove prophetic in the time to come, and we are moving slowly but surely towards it.

The web is constantly in transition, and we are expecting the year 2008 to provide us a more clear definition of what Web 3.0 will stand for. Primarily, we will see companies, especially Google, further developing their search technologies to make them semantic-based, that is able to understand the search terms we write much better and make search more relevant. An example of a primitive version of such search engines is the US-based ChaCha search engine (currently in beta version), which uses a human guide via instant messaging to help in search. Powerset is building a next generation search engine to compete with Google, one that will work on sophisticated natural language processing. Furthermore, sophisticated search engines, which will be able to analyze & handle content in any form (word, images, and sound).

The futuristic internet will be different in terms of User interface (UI). Talking to B&E, Richards L. Ptak, Managing Partner, Ptak, Noel & Associates says, “I think the UI will be easier, more natural & intuitive. The potential for ‘thought control’ of web interactions is conceivable & ‘bio-control’ is a near certainty.”

The emphasis will also be on making search more localised. Google India’s serving innovation platform ‘Google India Labs’ will step on the gas on its Local Search and Local Business Centre next year. “Local Search & Local Business Centre will provide our users with better local business results by increasing the corpus & depth of business listings, and benefit local businesses by ensuring visibility on the Internet for free,” says Vinay Goel, Head of Products, Google India. It will basically be like your business yellow pages, but online.
