The next web
If you are keen on getting a “Wow” from your date and flaunt your geeky erudition to the gullible, you should nonchalantly drop such pieces of jargon as Web 2.0, Mashup, Semantic web and all that jazz.
But it seems the exotic Semantic Web is really round the corner and is sure to revolutionize the way we use the web to get information. Simply “Googling” for it is going to be passé. Here is what ZDNet has to say about the phenomenon that is ushering in a paradigm shift on the internet:
Google is essentially a media company – as Tom Foremski succinctly points out here – logging your actions for Ad Word generation like a supermarket rewards card program while leveraging brute force search of the indexed web as you search for your keywords and phrases.
Wikipedia is essentially a single destination site, which means lots of laborious single issue searching.
The semantic web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so that they can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, sharing and combining information on the web.
This semantic, machine-read next generation enables much richer search. So if you are looking for information about pinball machines for example, this Freebase example gives you a rich contextual grouping of related and highly relevant information.

Pownce rocks!
One of the co-founders of the famous “Digg“, the website which lets you discover and share content from anywhere on the web, has launched a new social networking site called Pownce that is a direct challenge to Twitter. With Twitter, people can broadcast short messages and also announce what act of mischief they are engaged in at any point of time! But with Pownce, you can share messages, files and also do event management.
Frostfire has listed 10 reasons why Pownce rocks:
- The group messaging is great.
- Pownce handles replies correctly and Twitter does not.
- Pownce has a great private conversation tool. It also has unlimited words.
- Pounce has better design
- Pownce has got a better grip on threading and privacy.
- Pownce allows different kinds of messages, for example links, events and file transfers.
- Pownce lets you forward messages.
- Pownce has an AIR desktop.
- Pownce is fast with no performance issues.
- Pownce will expand the Digg community into the mobile world
Presently Pownce is by invitation only, a reminder of Gmail in its early days. Proving that everything has a market, invites to Pownce are up for sale on eBay, with its current bidding at $5.
But I have 3 invites to give away! Good news, what!
All you have to do to earn it, is to write at least 2 sentences about this blog in the comment box. So simple!!
Don’t tarry!!

About Me
I am S.K!
Ok, what's the big deal, you may ask! But you may miss a good deal if you do not dwell deep into this web site, specially hand-crafted for you. But what about me, the person? Wait, I am not good at making things up. If you stumble upon a good-sounding résumé, please pass it on to me!

Quirky something
It is strictly forbidden on our black forest camping site that people of different sex, for instance, men and women, live together in one tent unless they are married with each other for that purpose. -
