Samuel Axon of Mashable.com reports on a series of inforgrapics which clearly defines for us the current state of the internet.
”The focus is on exactly who uses the Internet, and how often. It breaks things down by gender, age, income level, and nationality. It even serves up average broadband speeds for both landline and mobile users at the bottom. Some of this stuff surprised us a bit — For example, desktop computers are still much more common than laptops.”
Jennifer Zaino of the Semantic Web Blog writes about semantic social search engine TipTop Search, which will be building a better shopping portal. The site directs queries to Amazon and brings back specific products in the category of interest (handbags, perfumes, etc.). TipTop then pulls together ratings for key attributes such as overall quality and value for the money based on its extraction and analysis of the unstructured data for that entity culled from user reviews about it.
It is great to see consumer based commercial applications of semantic technologies being put in place.

Amiad Solomon of the Huffington Post writes about advertising and the hope for Semantic technologies. The industry seeks an advertising targeting solution that is both non intrusive and operates on a massive scale. This is where semantic targeting technology comes into play.
The holy grail of ad placement is knowing exactly what to serve to whom and when and specifically when not to serve the wrong ad. At OpenAmplify we take this challenge to heart — just watch some of our demos (http://bit.ly/cep6UX).

Silicon.com reports that Britain Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced today that a new research center will be established to put ”the UK at the cutting edge of research on the semantic web.”
The center – which will be run by world wide web creator Tim Berners-Lee and web science expert professor Nigel Shadbolt – will research how the private sector could use tagged data to spot new business opportunities – such as better identifying areas of customer demand – and increase efficiencies within organizations, through semantic technologies such as XBRL.
