Eric Schmidt of Google fame recently spoke at the Seoul Digital Forum. This would be much less than interesting except for the fact that one of my favorite topics came up, Web 3.0. After calling Web 2.0 a marketing buzz word (which is very true) he goes on to define Web 3.0 as a series of small, highly customizable applications that can be pieced together from data in the clouds.

What I find to be interesting is how closely this syncs up to my own article on Web 3.0. Whether or not Eric has ever seen the piece, I think he really should take a look now. If any Google employee has a way I could get a link to his desk please tell me.

Comparing Notes

From How To Define Web 3.0,

“…Included in my personal page will be meta-data from around the rest of my Web Empire. Our pages will be little more than our personal interpretations of all the data available on the web, plugged into these pages through a growing array of widgets and shared with the world.”

Web 2.0 Roundup

I really love comparing notes on these things, and since Mr. Schmidt is as tapped into the future as almost anyone else out there, it might be an interesting conversation. If you want to see the question that led to this ad hoc definition, take a look at this video that I found via ReadWriteWeb.
