12	. Companies publish content that people consume (e.g. CNN)	People publish content that other people can consume, companies build platforms that let people publish content for other people (e.g. Flickr, YouTube, Adsense, Wikipedia, Blogger, MySpace, RSS, Digg)	People build applications that people can interact with, companies build platforms that let people publish services by leveraging the associa- tions between people or special content ( e. g. FaceBook, Google Maps, My Yahoo!)
13	. In Web 1.0 search engines retrieve macro contents. Search is very fast but many times results are inaccurate or more than users can chew.	In Web 2.0 search engines retrieve tags with micro contents (Furl even retrieves tags with macro contents). The process of tagging is manual, tedious and covers negligible percents of the WWW. Web 2.0 tags every- thing: pictures, links, events, news, Blogs, audio, video, and so on. Google Base even retrieves micro content texts.	In Web 3.0 search engines will hopefully retrieve micro content texts which were tagged automatically. This implies translating billions of Web 1.0 macro contents into micro contents. The result could be more precise search because tagging can solve part of the ambiguity that homonyms and synonyms introduce into the process of search.

The innovation process works closely with the other processes of web development. In fact, innovation is a complement to each of the web-development processes; it draws information from them about the current web and identifies new needs for the web to serve users.

Innovation involves using a variety of techniques and strategies that evolve as web developers gain experience. . These techniques should help web developers creatively meet the needs of users, continuously improve the web's quality, and use technological innovation to increase the web's usability.

Web developers should keep informed of similar or competitors' webs that may share the web's purpose and audience. If appropriate, developers might consider collaborating with competitors' webs so that each organization can focus on a specialization and share the benefits of greater user service.

Web developers also should be aware of their audience's professional societies, trade shows, conventions, periodicals, related Net resources, and changing interests. Web developers may have to accomplish this through off-Web channels or through journals, and newsletters, print magazines.
