"Web 3.0" Kevin Kelly, Wired Magazine Web 3.0 is the next evolutionary step of the internet and is defined by people in the industry who visualize what the internet will be like in the next 10 years.

So if you haven't already dove, followed and tweeted now is the time to sign-up: http://twitter.com .
