Like it or not Web 3.0 is here! It is in the form of Facebook Open Graph

Facebook has recently announced its Open Graph protocol. There by initiating the Web 3.0 era. In simpler terms it provides a ‘like’ button that developers can add to their websites, for any content or subject. And Facebook will be the central hub of all those ‘likings’. So a website, to offer you recommendations, depending on your taste, on your first visit itself can simply will contact Facebook.

Imagine this: Amazon can recommends films for you to buy based on what you have been looking up on IMDB or Pandora in turn can play music you’ll like based on your friends Amazon purchases.

Suddenly the web is connected in a far more cohesive way than has ever before. Some of it will be used to promote products to you but there will be a lot of scope for developers to create amazing, new, social services that feed deep into your social graph.

There is one catch: to take advantage of all this you have got to be a Facebook user.

A new age is dawning, welcome to Web 3.0.
