But the first “key finding” from the study is a little more attention-grabbing. According to the study, 46 percent of women and 30 percent of men would opt to forgo sex for two weeks instead of giving up access to their precious Internet for the same period.

Duh, The internet has porn!

Aurora is a concept video presenting one possible future user experience for the Web, created by Adaptive Path as part of the Mozilla Labs concept browser series. Aurora explores new ways people could interact with the Web in the future based on projected technological trends and real-world scenarios.

 

Here’s a video from their site:

Collaborative browsing is awesome. Too bad it’s just a video.

Today Google has launched “Friend Connect,” described as a tool to make any website “social.” The entire concept removes the “garden walls,” which lock a user’s account into one particular website. Imagine having only one account for the internet. You log into Facebook with the same username as you would with iLike, a social music website. Instantly you can share music with your friends on facebook because the two sites are connected through Google’s Friend Connect. Your friends are not just on Facebook — they’re on the internet.

Account portability sounds amazing. Now anyone, with the right technological background, can start a website and incorporate anyone using Friend Connect — instantly a huge social network. However, this causes a huge security threat.

Instead of your Facebook account being compromised because your password is “123″ your “internet” is compromised. Every website that uses Google’s Friend Connect has now been compromised and you’ve just become a pink-sparkling-fairy on Facebook who likes Celine Dion, not that I have anything against her but seriously, Celine Dion?. I couldn’t think of anything worse.

Web 3.0 has been defined by many bloggers, both professional and grammatically incorrect like myself. However, I believe that Web 3.0 is indeed account portability. While some may argue that OpenID, a service that allows for one username/password across the web, may be web 3.0. OpenID is Web 2.5. It’s a step in the right direction, but you only keep your username and password across the web. Web 3.0 is different because it allows you to keep all your data across the web.

If Web 2.0 is Ajax and the uprising of social networks then Web 3.0 makes the internet a social web.

What do you think about the next step in the internet’s evolution?
