Today, the Web 2.0 is gaining wide acceptance all over the world and our daily routines are almost customized according to it whether it may be household chores, business, grabbing medical help or any other day-to-day activity. There seems to be a tremendous change in the way of doing everything. For example, talking about the IT industry, it has been under the total influence of Web 2.0 like Blogs, Podcasts, Wikis and others are being used largely to convey concepts and ideas. In a way, all this has brought about a big revolution. 

Automatically, there arises a question - What is next in store for people? 

The Web 2.0 has finally arrived and is now propelling us towards the Web 3.0. Outside India, there are many remarkable examples of the use of its techniques in the education, health, and real estate. 

Some instances as mentioned in http://threeminds.organic.com/2008/07/revolution_still_in_store_for_1.html: 

• One of the strongest examples is set by the U.K., where the Power of Information Taskforce has released gigabytes of new or previously invisible public information from the census, health care, and education with a very interesting challenge to the public. The site is named Show Us A Better Way, which calls for people to bring in mashup ideas for development funding. Meanwhile, from the realm of public discourse, there is SpinDifferent, which compares public policy from the U.K., U.S., and U.N., and CommentOnThis that provides an opportunity to the public to comment line by line on government documents.

• Besides this, freeing your data is supposedly one of the strongest commandments of Web 2.0, and the same could be said for sharing and dialog, and also the social factor in social media. Both the United Kingdom (They Work For You) and the European Union (myparl.eu) have developed social networks that make it possible for citizens to keep tabs on and communicate with elected and unelected government officials. The governments of Thailand, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand are using blogs, both for official and unofficial purposes. In the month of March, political blogging changed the outcome of the Malaysian election.

• In U.S., Web 2.0 is slowly seeping into government sites at all levels. The state of Virginia portal website features podcasts, a YouTube channel, and a series of blog/social widgets. The Maine portal supports microformats and mobile services. Meanwhile, USA.gov has a blog actually run by real people who use authentic language instead of PR voice.

 In India, the use of Web 2.0 has widely gained acceptance in the corporate world, educational fields and others. http://www.watblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/keytrends-2008.pdf brings you the latest developments and trends in International and Indian webspaces.

The present state is such that Gen Y is keeping a constant eye for all the latest developments to keep themselves abreast of the happenings and the youngsters are on the lookout for the latest methods/techniques available. These may include online communication, collaboration, and others. To summarize it in one quote: “Web 2.0 revolution continues to march ahead and it is creating more and more tools and options for one and all including governments, businesses, health care facilities, education and others.
