I barely made this week’s links by the skin of my teeth. This upcoming week may see a shortage of posts since my wife and I getting the hell out of dodge for a while. All that being said, I should have some really good content coming up in the next couple weeks.
Enjoy the links.
More hand-picked links await your clicking for this week. As you can tell, I have once again been late with my links - my apologies. I have had my hands full with an interesting project for nearly the last month - this has eaten into my blogging time to a certain extent. Nonetheless, things are beginning to even out, so I should be back to my regular schedule soon.
Enjoy the links.
I just snuck the weekly links in this time. I have been getting in the bad habit of being overly tardy with posting this feature - something I am going to have to nip in the bud from this point on. This weekend was highly productive and I got to spend some quality time on the blog and other online-related doodads. This upcoming week should be relatively quiet in terms of work, meaning it should be pretty active on this site.
Lots of good stuff on the horizon. Keep an eye out for it.
Enjoy the links.
I read a very interesting article, Why the Semantic Web Will Fail, about one person’s thoughts on why the web will never reach its full potential due to the greed and short-sidedness of big business. The author makes some very good points in the article and it is quite compelling to read.
Here’s an excerpt:
The Semantic Web will never work because it depends on businesses working together, on them cooperating.
We are talking about the most conservative bunch of people in the world, people who believe in greed and cut-throat business ethics. People who would steal one another’s property if it weren’t nailed down. People like, well, Conrad Black and Rupert Murdoch.
And they’re all going to play nice and create one seamless Semantic Web that will work between companies - competing entities choreographing their responses so they can work together to grant you a seamless experience?
I think the author is right about one thing - big business is not a big fan of an open, sharing web and will fight it tooth and nail in the name of profit. My feeling however is that business really does not have a choice in the matter. The web is built on a very open, uncontrollable model - opening up infinite possibilities for individuals, competitors and or startups to ruin them in a heartbeat. The web is moving towards a more open model, like it or not. We do not rely on big business, big business relies on us. If corporations do not want to work in that model, all it takes is $15 for a domain name, $100 a month for hosting and word of mouth for some David to take down Goliath.
