Abstract: This paper is a brief personal journal of our relentless pursuit of Web Intelligence (WI). How it all started? What have achieved? Where are we heading? Our search for the ultimate meaning of the Web enables us to see and appreciate the power of the Web for building a better human society through collaboration, co-learning, and co-creation. The Web is a powerful idea, a scientific and technological innovation, and a social creation. Web Intelligence explores the connectivity, diversity, and plasticity of the Web, as well as the global brain supported by the Web. The goal of research on Web Intelligence is to build a better connected world of everything, by people, and for a new intelligent human society.
