What's Next on the Web?

Here's a fantastically interesting article written by Marshall Kirkpatrick for ReadWriteWeb: "What's Next on the Web: a ReadWriteWeb Toolkit for 2008"

Kirkpatrick describes five big trends that he's excited about for the web in 2008:

1. Open Data
2. Recommendations
3. The Semantic Web
4. Mobile
5. Visualization

He provides feeds and resources for each trend.

Don't know what some of those words or phrases mean? All the more reason to at least scan the article. If librarians are people who like to know a little bit about a lot of things, here's your golden opportunity to learn a little bit about these trends.

Read this for a peek into a future that's already begun!
