N3 (Now-New-Near) Web

-

We seem to have a new classification of information available on the web. This time from  Rajesh Jain(Emergic). 

Now Web: Now is about incremental in Time. It is about events that are happening now. 

...

.. news channel with its constant updates of stock indices and prices is a view on what�s happening now...

...

New Web: The New Web can be thought of as incremental in Topics. 

...

A legacy search engine will index a page, but an incremental web search engine will focus on the feeds. Feeds are the containers and carriers for microcontent.

Near Web: The Near Web can be thought of as incremental in Space. It is the Web that is around where we are physically present. It is a world of shops, malls, schools, hospitals, traffic, and much more.

...

Neighbourhood events can be posted on to specific pages, organised in a weblog-format. By using standardized forms to do the post, it is possible to capture the information in XML format and use a matching engine to send out alerts to people.

It looks cool to put what we already consume on the web in a different perspective if not new perspective.  

We are missing the 4th dimension, though. Networking web. Where we buid a new lifestyle around a group of people considered to be in our network. We don't share everything or interact with everybody, but with just people in our network.  We are not interested in now-new-near web of entire world, but just within our own network of people. Does it make N3 really N4 ?

USCIS completed this determination ahead of the preliminary schedule noted on April 3, when it announced it had received enough petitions to meet the cap for FY 2008. The 123,480 cap-subject petitions received on April 2 and 3 were labeled with unique numerical identifiers and selected randomly by computer. The chosen numerical identifiers were then transmitted to the appropriate service center for further processing.
