Features of this web are Folksonomy, Rich User Experience, Long Tail, User Participation, Software as a Service, and Mass Participation. And lastly, the web 3.0 wherein its aim is to have a machine that can understand the user’s preferences to be able to deliver web content definitely pointing the user. This web if we understand can really help us when we are searching but there is a several problems why we can’t reach the standards of web 3.0; Compatibility, Security, Vastness, Vagueness, and Logic.
