Read/Write Web Poll on Top Web Technology

Richard MacManus at Read/Write Web has a poll up today asking with of the following technologies readers "think will have the most impact over the next 10 years":

  1. Ajax / browser-based apps
  2. Artificial Intelligence
  3. Attention data
  4. Gaming
  5. Mobile
  6. Online Video / Internet TV
  7. Rich Internet Apps
  8. Search
  9. Semantic Web / structured data
  10. Virtual Worlds
  11. Web services / APIs
  12. Other

As I commented in response to his post: "I voted for 'Virtual Worlds,' but I think the real answer will be a 'mashup' of several of the web technologies. As an educator, I think being able to access web-based applications and search functions from within a virtual world will have a huge impact on education."
