Picked this up on your recommendation (plus loved Pink Noise, Factums and Blank Dogs). But I didn't get a CDR with it. Do you have an up of the MP3s by any chance?

Thanks twilerer. IJ is awesome, but long for sure. DFW's prose always sparkles and you can't go wrong with either A Supposedly Fun Thing... or Consider the Lobster. The Kenyon Address is also a good place to start. Harper's released all of DFW's articles as PDFs.

Or go see them at one of their excellent live shows and skip the shipping fee.

Re: The 5 Types of Semantic Applications: Part 1 - Semantic Search

Fraser — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:04:03 -0000

Hi Mark, glad you found the session constructive! Any time you can introduce meta data into content that you publish you're helping to take a step closer towards realizing the potential of semantic apps.

Tagging, AB Meta, Microformats, and all other forms of meta information help make your content richer. And that richness will be usable by someone doing something to bring context to the web.

The question right now though is what's the direct incentive for content creators to do this? Always a difficult thing to answer and show that benefit > effort.

Fraser, Thanks again for the enlightening session on the semantic Web. I'm curious what lay Web content creators can do to help? Does tagging add to the tapestry of potential semantic data? Is there an easy way to better usher the semantic Web?
