Ten Future Web Trends
I am no fan of republishing links to other articles but this article of Richard MacManus from the Read/Write Web blog is so right on spot that I wanted to share it with as many people as possible. Many of the topics he is listing are already here in some form or another (virtual worlds, mobile web, RIA, online/Internet TV), some others have been here since ages like AI (btw, mencioning Amazon Mechanical Turk as an example of AI is not correct, as far as I know, there is no articial intelligence involved there) but without becoming mainstream and others like the Semantic Web, everyone talks about but there is no where to be seen yet.
Here is the list of trends, for specifics, read the article:
1. Semantic Web
2. Artificial Intelligence
3. Virtual Worlds
4. Mobile Web
5. Attention Economy
6. Web Sites as Web Services
7. Online Video / Internet TV
8. Rich Internet Apps
9. International Web
10. Personalization

As We already commented the other day, I would add to this list the “relevance economy” and its best tool, the recommendation systems, maybe all included under the attention and the personalization items, but I would give them an eleven and twelve hints.
