Web 3.0. The Giant Global Graph. The Semantic Web. The implications are staggering, and its’ detailed realization only became apparent when Web 2.0 standards took to internet communities as water to an empty container – feverishly, rampantly, filling every corner. Corporations fast came to grips with the marketing potential, and many of us see where this is leading in respects to a more dynamic approach to tracking marketability, consumer satisfaction and countless areas of data analysis. But what about your private life? How will this affect a weekend trip to  the movie theater? I’ll tell you, Santa: You send a myspace bulletin that details the fact of your going to a certain movie at a certain time, and decide to add a review you read of it to digg.com on your way out the door. Instead of Richard, whom you haven’t seen in ages, reading the bulletin when he leaves the very same movie theater you are now travelling to when he happens to check myspace bulletins, an application that ties cross-site content together would step in, the end result being a message like this, when you initially announced your travel plans, or maybe when Richard decides to message into his mobile device, during a cigarette break from the film his girlfriend is making him watch in exchange for affection:

“Richard is just now finishing a film at the same theater, his movie finishes 20 minutes before yours begins. Message Richard?”

A content-based application with algorithms and deduction strings that would take your text message and decide for you which social-networking account of yours it would best belong on. For example:

Suppose someone, like myself and many others, have accounts on myspace, facebook, twitter, buzz, del.icio.us, digg, blogger, wordpress and so on. You’re waiting in line, frothing like a centipede in anticipation of your desired flavor of frozen yogurt in the local ice-creamery-fountain-shoppe. You reach the counter, and the worker-drone says you’re in luck – they have one more scoop of your desired flavor. You are so overwhelmed with joy and cannot stop gesticulating, naturally – but you must “tweet” this amazing turn of luck – maybe facebook peeps should know too, right? So then, you reflexively whip out your mobile device and type this:

Hey guys, just got the flavor – it was the last one LOLZ! ZOMG – soooooooooo good. I am totally like sooooo happy now #icecreamrulez #iTunes

Which is 140 characters, one of countless message properties this application recognizes. The app then displays a twitter logo, so you can send it with one press. But below that is the facebook logo, myspace, et-cetera. Maybe someone on twitter is going through the same thing! The application, in this case, would parse for references to ice cream, check forums to see if you can be assisted by the creamery industry, maybe Amazon can just ship tubs of it to you in the future with super-saver shipping? You can post to them all at once and have everyone know, or select certain program attributes, to appear more tactful, for example:

If you post:

“This is teh best day evar – Me ‘n’ Joey are sooooo perfect for each other!!“

Nothing wrong with that, right? Wrong. You’re going to seem like a real jerk, for something you were entirely unaware of. This application would parse and index the last 20 or so messages, wall posts and so on for each account, and send you pop-up suggestions like this, working seamlessly with all of the social-networking sites:

For each application, the interface could be fine-tuned and tweaked. I can’t find anything like it on the web! This must be the future. What if we could have bots one day, say, solve lengthy and emotionally expensive marriage fights with a Web 3.0©®™ flame-war?
