“Do you think that Web 3.0 apps will help tune out the noise for individuals seeking specific content searches?”

The REAL semantic web, at its core, is about creating ontologies, which are formalized descriptions of the world that follow standards that can be “understood” by software. Noise, if you define it as content that you are not interested in but that you have to “sift through” to find what you want, will be greatly reduced when the web understands both what you are really looking for and what the content it is sifting through is really about. From there, you can let the software “sift” for you based on this “understanding”.

Tweets can contain semantic information when they contain hashtags. These hash tags, that the community has agreed upon as representing certain things, allow us to know what tweets are really about. And, I’ve used them in order to watch TV in a more interactive manner. You might have seen my post about watching Lost with Tweet Deck.

First of all, thank you so much for your questions. They definitely helped me fuel my thought processes, and I can tell you that future posts will incorporate this.

I actually come from the technical realm, as a software architect/developer. I am enjoying examining the web from a more end user perspective, though.

Thanks for the email… this is a good perspective on the evolution of how the Internet is used.
