Web Squared is the new web2.0

You may have noticed that the web has been changing in the past 1-2 years to become more social, more mobile, more relevant to where you are, who your friends are.

Web 2.0 meant that the web was more flexible, the invention of recommendation engines and of the web 'collective intelligence'.

Now not only is the web "smarter", it also knows a lot more about you: who you are, who your friends are, what you like, what you buy, where you are, where you're going. Although it feels a bit matrixy in the good days (i can't believe my iPhone offers voice recognition when I put it next to my mouth) / big brothery in the bad ones (what if google was becoming evil from one day to the next and used my account, my Google docs, my e-mail messages, my customized maps, to overwhelm me with obnoxious ads), it does open the door to a whole lot of new applications/uses which we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg right now.
