In order to achieve the balance with the others forms of life on this planet, we must change our steps. Thanks to Goce Mitevski post from whom I found out about this project, I'm honored to present to you.

TO DEBATE AND TAKE ACTION TOGETHER ON THE GOODPLANET FUNDATION FORUM : http://www.goodplanet.org/en

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate. The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being. For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film. HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand, GoodPlanet Fundation President

HOME is a carbon offset movie

Web 3.0 the next concept

Today we are witnesses of the changes that arrived in the Internet World. In 2009 the concept Web 2.0 (2005-2008) is sort of dead. The new approach today from the users and companies, is very different. The Web 2.0 concept is oriented in sharing content, personal blog, XML and RSS, tagging, Google, Wikipedia, web applications and community oriented. There ware also some design approaches that ware different from Web 1.0 concept.

But what we have now?
  • Personal Web
  • Focusing on the Individuals
  • Lifestream
  • Widgets
  • Open & Structured Data
  • Filtering & Dynamic Content
  • Semantic Web
Lots of people already tagged Web 3.0 as a semantic web. Web 3.0 will be all about semantic web!? What is semantic web (Wikipedia):

The Semantic Web is an evolving extension of the World Wide Web in which the semantics of information and services on the web is defined, making it possible for the web to understand and satisfy the requests of people and machines to use the web content.[1][2] It derives from World Wide Web Consortium director Sir Tim Berners-Lee's vision of the Web as a universal medium for data, information, and knowledge exchange.[3]

Also the concept of Social Network will be replaced by People Search. This means that if I put a proper name into the search engine of Web 3.0 it would provide the running profile of your presence on the web. This would show everything in the web that has been tagged as belonging to you, ordered by community validation and relevance. Your page would contain both information that you have written about yourself. I think this concept is very close to what we have now in 2009, but for more clear head about Web concepts and the difference between Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 you should visit this links that are listed below.
Hope this will bring the idea closer to what really is happening on the net.
