"Semantic Web" - like we need another buzzword.

[dood → axod]

Its quite reasonable to have a simple and appropriate name for a broad and powerful set of emerging technologies. And if they live up to a tenth of the promise, it would be reasonable for there to be a lot of buzz about them.

"new" ? I think the term has been around as long as the web. It was pretty much Berners-Lee's idea.

[axod → michaelneale]

Maybe it's just recently been hyped up to buzzword status.

1) New buzzword 2) Rush to start a startup 3) Get VC money 4) ????? 5) Buy a yacht with the loot

Just like Web 3.0
