A friend who is uber-smart and talented got me thinking about How Entropy Is Creating Web 3.0 Right Under Our Noses today. This piece is Entropy Redux or what happens after the more to greater randomness takes hold of us by the scruff of the next :).
It is about the coming apocalypse in website design. Every UX rectangle we draw today is sure to be replaced by conditional logic soon. Why? It’s all Google's Fault.

3 Dimensions of Web 3.0
The three dimensions of Web 3.0 might not be what you think, they are:
* Space.
* Time.
* Behavior.
Behavior may seem a strange "dimension" but it is the defining dimension of Web 3.0's predictive analytics future. Behavior, what a visitor does or is doing on your website will lock a persona.
Once a persona is identified, and it shouldn't take more than three "touches", a path forms. When a visitor arrives at your web 3.0 site you already know a lot. You know where they came from, if they are new or returning and what keyword or partner brought them to your website.
Let's say you already have 2 of the 3 touches needed for persona definition. Those first touches have formed a page created with a single goal - finding the 3rd touch point. The 3rd touch point completes the persona definition and forms the path.
As behavior continues over time the space the visitor "sees" is highly influenced by similar patterns. If a visitor goes "rogue" creating a new path (in real time) its all good and all recorded. Recorded because rogue paths can become part of the branching algorithm once the rogue path is seen more than once.
This is why behavior is a dimension online, but not a dimension separate from space and time. Web 3.0 mashes all three website design dimensions into a single 3 way Chinese finger puzzle. Each web 3.0 "dimension" is inextricably tied to the other two.
