# ReadWriteWeb’s Top 5 Web Trends of 2009

![](https://web.archive.org/web/20100211125029im_/http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/top_trends_09b.jpg)Last week we ran a series of posts outlining the 5 biggest Internet trends of this year: [Structured Data](https://web.archive.org/web/20100211125029/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/top_5_web_trends_of_2009_structured_data.php), [Real-Time Web](https://web.archive.org/web/20100211125029/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/top_5_web_trends_of_2009_the_real-time_web.php), [Personalization](https://web.archive.org/web/20100211125029/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/top_5_web_trends_of_2009_personalization.php), [Mobile Web / Augmented Reality](https://web.archive.org/web/20100211125029/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/top_5_web_trends_of_2009_mobile_web_augmented_reality.php), [Internet of Things](https://web.archive.org/web/20100211125029/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/top_5_web_trends_of_2009_internet_of_things.php).
