Novas Pivack has updated his Metaweb Graph. He describes the convergence of standard web, semantic web, and social software technologies into the Metaweb (and beyond). This reads like Alvin Toffler barreling into Vernor Vinge's territory, although the amazing Mr. Pivack is actually the grandson of the ever-practical Peter Drucker.

As the network becomes increasingly autonomous and self-organizing we may say that the network-as-a-whole is becoming "intelligent." But it will be several steps beyond that before it finally "wakes up" -- when the various processes of the network reach that point at which the entire system truly functions as a coordinated, self-aware intelligence. This will require the formation of many higher layers of intelligence -- leading to something that functions like the cerebral cortex in humans. Source
