comment or create user account.
 Web 3.0 – this platform is all about semantic web. users can spontaneously create their own networks, in
minutes, and with any kind of data device; mobile or fixed, handheld or deskbound. Applications are more
complex, and machines can make decisions based on user’s data and actions.
