I hope people won't use the term "Web 3.0". The term "Web 2.0" is already annoying enough :)
Besides, Semantic Web technologies have been around for long, and smart companies like Google often impress more with their "lower-case semantic web" parser AI...

I have developed my own definition of Web 3.0, and differ on the viewpoint that Semantic Web would be the essence of the next generation of the Internet.

And for a series of examples, you can see my analysis of the Personal Finance category from a Web 3.0 perspective: http://sramanamitra.com/blog/775 .

I am one of two VC investors in Radar.

Let's not let the Hype Machine get ahead of ourselves here. Radar is and will be a cool service, but it is not a replacement for Google. Radar's use of semantic web technologies is NOT going to automagically change the Web. Radar's building a cool next-generation application, not a search engine.
