New Version of My "Metaweb" Graph -- The Future of the Net Notes: Many people have requested this graph and so I am posting my latest version of it. The Metaweb is the coming "intelligent Web" that is evolving from the convergence of the Web, Social Software and the Semantic Web. The Metaweb is starting to emerge as we shift from a Web focused on information to a Web focused on relationships between things --- what I call "The Relationship Web" or the "Relationship Revolution." We see early signs of this shift to a Web of relationships in the sudden growth of social networking systems. This is similar to the human brain -- individual neurons are not particularly important or effective on their own, rather it is the vast networks of relationships that connect them that encode knowledge and ultimately enable intelligence. As the intelligence with which such processes unfolds, in a totally decentralized and grassroots manner, we will begin to see signs of emergent "transhuman" intelligences on the network.
The New Social Media Landscape: A Roadmap July 20th, 2011 It may look like Google+ is competing with Facebook and Twitter, but I don’t think that is what will happen in the end. I think Google+ is a very different kind of service and it’s not clear that it can or will, or should, replace these other services. In a series of articles here on my blog, I’ve explained the differences between these services, and what Google+ is really for and what it means for the rest of the social media giants: The conclusion I draw from all this is that instead of one social network to rule them all, I think it’s more likely that the social media landscape is going to divide into different territories, with each of the major social networks playing a different role. Here’s how I think this all going to shake out: Facebook is for social networkingLinkedIn is for business networkingGoogle+ is for knowledge networkingTwitter is for notifications They just don’t know it yet. Here is some more detail on this idea:

Il m’a autorisée – et je l’en remercie - à publier la traduction d’un billet qu’il vient de faire paraître, Bienvenue dans le flux, qui fait le point sur un phénomène que nous constatons tous, lié à l’apparition de nouvelles applications en temps réel et qu’il prend très au sérieux, considérant qu’il s’agit là d’un nouvel âge du web. Bienvenue dans le Flux : un nouvel âge pour le Web Par Nova Spivack, fondateur de twine.com Internet a commencé à évoluer plusieurs décennies avant l’apparition du Web. Et malgré le fait qu’aujourd’hui la plupart des gens pensent qu’Internet et le Web, c’est la même chose, en réalité ce sont deux choses bien distinctes. Et tout juste comme le Web a émergé à la pointe de l’internet, quelque chose de nouveau émerge à la pointe du Web : j’appelle cela le Flux.
Why Cognition-as-a-Service is the next operating system battlefield The Semantic Web may have failed, but higher intelligence is coming to applications anyway, in another form: Cognition-as-a-Service (CaaS). And this may just be the next evolution of the operating system. CaaS will enable every app to become as smart as Siri in its own niche. CaaS powered apps will be able to think and interact with consumers like intelligent virtual assistants — they will be “cognitive apps.” For example your calendar will become a cognitive app — it will be able to intelligently interact with you to help you manage your time and scheduling like a personal assistant would — but the actual artificial intelligence that powers it will come from a third-party cloud based cognitive platform. Cognitive apps will not be as intelligent as humans anytime soon, and they probably will not be anything like the 20th century ideas of humanoid robots. Cognition in the clouds Even in the last few months several interesting announcements were made that all signify this trend:
