What's next in the world of the Web?

The Web will become more personable, more easily searchable, more customizable, and more sociable. We are ready heading towards that direction with Web 2.0. According to this article from ZDNet, Nova Spivack from Radar Networks draws the roadmap to the next version of the Web, Web 3.0 (dubbed Semantic Web) and Web4.0 or the WebOS which means the entire Web becomes an operating system and our entire computer ecosystem is just one big OS on the web. There's already evidence to prove that we are going in that direction, with Google apps on the web now like GMail, Google Docs and Spreadsheets, Google Calendar. Here is the roadmap for the web according to Nova Spivack:



I certainly agree with this roadmap and I think the dates seem realistic. We'll also see mobile devices increasingly become part of the Web ecosystem, we're already seeing that with cell phones and handhelds that connect to the Web, and mobile web applications of popular web applications like Google Search for mobile devices, Windows Live for mobile, etc.
