It’s time.

Page 4: Tague Semtech Keynote 2009

Before we start….

Let’s take a moment to talk

about how we got here –

here being web 2.x

Page 5: Tague Semtech Keynote 2009

Web 1.0

Aka “The last web we agreed on”

Page 6: Tague Semtech Keynote 2009

Web 2.0

Take web 1.0, add a liberal

dash of social, generous

amounts of user generated

content, atomize your content

assets and stir until fully

confused

Page 7: Tague Semtech Keynote 2009

Where are we today?

Extraordinarily Content Rich

Extraordinarily Information Poor

Experientially Deficient

web. Let’s look at five years

Zemanta's vision is to help you while you are creating content. Our front-end is wherever your existing workflow is. We are creating deep technology and hiding it behind a simple user experience. Andraz Tori

People want more information in moment. Apture is about wrapping the web experience around you the user, rather than forcing the user to do work to find the content they're looking for. Tristan Harris

Glue leverages semantics to connect people around things and concepts they care about. In the future web, things and concepts will be primary and the pages will be secondary. Alex Iskold

GetGlue.com

Feedly makes news reading fun again. By employing deep semantic technology on the back end for clustering, linking and organizing we’re working to deliver the world’s best news reading experience at the front end. Edwin Khodabakchian

Roadmap

Web 1.0: The web of destinations

Web 2.0: Fragmentation

Web 3.0: Unification – “The Web of Me”

Page 30: Tague Semtech Keynote 2009

Our Suggestions for Success

Put your idea in the 2x2. Be honest. Stay out of the deadzone no matter how cool

Decide if you’re care about semantics or about user value. If it’s semantics – be a tool vendor.

Don’t fund or spend money on semantic infrastructure beyond what’s necessary. The basic building blocks are available.

Think hard about user experience. Make it amazing.
