More people stirred up by Shirky

Further to my posting on Shirky's Semantic Web article, here are a couple more interesting postings:

• Lou Rosenfeld's thoughts


• Peter Van Dijck's thoughts - an excellent summation of the main arguments.


• Comments on both from Headshift


• Comments from Matt "Blackbelt" Jones on both

And via Blackbelt Jones, a cool rejoinder to anti-semantic arguments from Paul Ford: Harper's Magazine.

Via Tom's theOTHERblog, a very interesting link to Patterns in Unstructured Data
Discovery, Aggregation, and Visualization. Well worth a read.
