A new page, Web 3.0>Communication, has been added to my Social Networking+ notebook for My Idea Outlet. The contents can be found below.

When I think of what web 3.0 could look like, I see two primary components. The first is communication between websites. There are some forms of communication already, but they are reliant on each communication channel being developed individually. If you involved three website, you would need to develop software to communicate between the first and second, the second and third, and the first and third.

There are two serious problems with the current approach. For starters, the resources required for proper cross-site communications is substantial. It is highly unlikely that two solid websites that have not yet established followings would be able to communicate with each other. The other problem is that this approach is reliant on the idea that communications shouldn't involve more than two sites at a time.

I have already mentioned this out of date explanation, but I want to bring it up again. With web 3.0, you could join a less popular social network. From there, you could add a friend who is using Facebook. This would allow this individual to view pictures that you make available for friends only on a separate photo sharing site.

Another big area where communications will improve will be with social features such as commenting and message boards. You will be able to manage one account and have the ability to post just about anywhere. This also means that you will have the same public identity anywhere you go.

Communications is at the heart of my concept for the evolution of social networking. In fact, my section on openness is focused primarily on how social networking will facilitate this kind of communication and what kinds of communications should be taken into consideration. To avoid too much redundancy, I will not further detail the benefits of developing somewhat open protocols (security needs to be taken into consideration) with this Web 3.0 section. For more, you will need to switch over to Openness.
