The Social Web is Web 3.0

Nicholas Carr has written a post in response to Tim Berners-Lee’s article about the Giant Global Graph. Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the worldwide web, makes a powerful statement:

Its not the Social Network Sites that are interesting — it is the Social Network itself. The Social Graph. The way I am connected, not the way my Web pages are connected.

We can use the word Graph, now, to distinguish from Web.

I called this graph the Semantic Web, but maybe it should have been Giant Global Graph!

Whoa, the semantic web is in reality the social graph.
