What is Web 3.0 going to be about?
I gave a talk yesterday together with @fusionview and @simplygroup about social media in Asia and the lessons for the UK.
 One of the questions we were asked was about the role of mobile phones and the future of the interactive web.
In 2000, one-quarter of all mobile phones was in the hands of people in developing countries. By the beginning of 2009, this figure had risen to three-quarters of a total of 4 billion phones.
In the developing world, mobile phones are being used for all kinds of transactions from money transfers to the distribution of agricultural information and farming tips.
Experts believe that Africa and several parts of Asia will leapfrog PCs and go straight to mobile phones as a means of interacting online.
Are emerging markets going to lead the mobile revolution in the Web 3.0 era?
