HowStuffWorks "How Web 3.0 Will Work"
Description
Some Internet experts believe the next generation of the Web -- Web 3.0 -- will make tasks like your search for movies and food faster and easier. Instead of multiple searches, you might type a complex sentence or two in your Web 3.0 browser, and the Web will do the rest. In our example, you could type "I want to see a funny movie and then eat at a good Mexican restaurant. What are my options?" The Web 3.0 browser will analyze your response, search the Internet for all possible answers, and then organize the results for you.
That's not all. Many of these experts believe that the Web 3.0 browser will act like a personal assistant. As you search the Web, the browser learns what you are interested in. The more you use the Web, the more your browser learns about you and the less specific you'll need to be with your questions. Eventually you might be able to ask your browser open questions like "where should I go for lunch?" Your browser would consult its records of what you like and dislike, take into account your current location and then suggest a list of restaurants.

      The potential of web 3.0 in the travel space are compelling as today's research / plan / buy experience is largely disappointing and very time consuming and confusing for most. What's been solved in the first phase of web 1.0 was the easy purchase of the cheapest air fare from point A to point B, in web 2.0 social networking dimensions and the capability for UGC based on reviews has been added. The entire process, however, is still not integrated enough to make the experience much easier. The challenges are quite huge when it comes to that last part of integration as it will not be enough to just present options but only those that are actually available. The real-time availability checks from different suppliers to complete a vacation booking is very challenging in such an environment. Who ever solves the puzzle and offers a compelling solution will sit on a great opportunity to take online travel to the next level.
