Social media is all the rage. It seems to permeate almost every conversation people are having today – but it wasn’t always that way. I guess the the concept of Web 2.0 has taken on a life of its own. Many people are asking what’s next for the Web when we think about it’s evolution.

The Web is changing very rapidly. As social media has taken on a life of its own, many people are asking what’s next for the Internet. Even though there are many options to consider, Web 3.0 is going to be about user behavior. Sites have already begun using user behavior to shape the online buying experience.

The concept of Web 3.0 really focuses on collecting information about you from a variety of sources and using that data to improve your online experience. This evolution hopes to eliminate the vastness of the Internet and provide you with the information, products, and resources that are most meaningful to who you are and what you want.

Enter behavioral data and the concept of Web 3.0. In the next iteration of the web world, users’ activities are being tracked closely. These activities include a range of behaviors like their on-site behavior, purchase history, order frequency, size, and quantity as well as tastes and preferences they have exhibited while surfing the Net.

Web 3.0 goes beyond real time data by allowing online merchants and other websites the ability to integrate existing data into user profiles. For site that already have behavioral data, generating meaningful predictive models become even easier. Whether you’ve responded to a one time promotion or have consistently bought from a web site, this information is used to shape recommendations and marketing messages via email and online.

The data collected through the Web 3.0 methodology analyzes ever individual customer to your web site in a secure manner, protecting data through advances in web tracking and security. This information is essential for improving your experience and helping online product and service providers customize your shopping experience. If you’re concerned about privacy now, the issues will only grow in the years to come as web sites integrate more of this technology into their offering.

Some individuals are going to be significantly concerned about what data is being tracked and how that information is being used. I believe that all users must give their permission to be fully engaged in a Web 3.0 world. Once information is given, the user experience can be liberating, allowing your past behavior to shape your buying experience. This might actually cut down on much of the inaccurate and unrelated solicitations you receive today.

Signs of a Web 3.0 world are already starting to appear. Web sites are doing more tracking, analyzing, and customizing that ever before. Keep your eyes open for more sophisticated buying experiences and realize that another huge transformation is about to begin.
