Is web 3.0 (the intelligent web) nearly here?

Web 3.0 is a way of describing the next step in the internet evolution where websites/applications will be able to link data more intelligently.

Nova Spivack defines Web 3.0 as the third decade of the Web (2010–2020) during which he suggests several major complementary technology trends will reach new levels of maturity simultaneously. This stage of the web is shown in the graph (top left) which illustrates the history/future of the web.

The following websites are developing Web 3.0 ideas and are linking data in a more intelligently way. Subsequetly these websites have been described as the begginings of Web 3.0. Consequently Web 3.0 may be here already.

www.cooliris.com – A streamlined search engine for finding rich media content.
www.peer39.com - Peer39 is the global leader in semantic advertising solutions.
www.powerset.com – Semantic Search Engine from Microsoft.
www.qik.com – Stream live video from your phone. This is very cool (although not on the iPhone yet, should be an app soon though).
www.twine.com – Collect and share all the content you find on the web
www.gnipcentral.com – Similar to twine.
