"The Third Phase of the Web"

I would like to share an interesting small part of the Social Networking article (page 33) from the January 2011 issue of IEEE Spectrum Magazine:

"We are heading into a third phase of the Web" by Joe Stump (CTO of SimpleGeo)

"The webs between humans and machines, and between humans and the people they trust, have already been spun. The Web of the future will instead connect our physical world with our virtual one, enabling our online social interactions to give us valuable insights into our off-line lives." by Ariel Bleicher
