Imagine a world in which a movie search on your phone turns up only the kind of movies you like, and only those playing in your neighborhood; your behavior and interactions on social networks automatically produce lists of recommendations, potential friends, even job offers; searching and browsing the web becomes vastly more interesting and efficient, with results and link suggestions tailored specifically to your interests, and your “virtual representative,” a kind of online personal assistant, keeps working to find you the best information even when you are offline. This is the world of web 3.0, or what we call the ‘transcendent web’, and it will bring profound changes to people and businesses alike. The benefits it will provide users include the creation of a much more personalized web experience and the automation of many of the services already in use. Businesses too, will benefit from vastly greater amounts of information
