Twittering the Moon: Anyone know what that star is next to the moon?
Last night (February 27th 2009) I saw a really bright "star" next to the moon and wondered what it was. I wondered if twitter would tell me, so I did a twitter search for "star next to the moon." Of course, not only did twitter have an answer verified by hundreds of people, but it beautifully illustrated the thoughts of people around the world looking up in wonder at that same bright star in the sky - an age-old philosophical musing suddenly and poignantly jolted into the realm of the tangible. For those of us who still think Twitter is a pointless waste of time, I hope this example provokes some curiosity.

RSS never blocks you or goes down: why social networks need to be decentralized - O'Reilly Radar
ecurring outages on major networking sites such as Twitter and LinkedIn, along with incidents where Twitter members were mysteriously dropped for days at a time, have led many people to challenge the centralized control exerted by companies running social networks. Whether you're a street demonstrator or a business analyst, you may well have come to depend on Twitter. We may have been willing to build our virtual houses on shaky foundations might when they were temporary beach huts; but now we need to examine the ground on which many are proposing to build our virtual shopping malls and even our virtual federal offices.Instead of the constant churning among the commercial sites du jour (Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter), the next generation of social networking increasingly appears to require a decentralized, peer-to-peer infrastructure. This article looks at available efforts in that space and suggests some principles to guide its development.

The vision of Semantic Web is that machine usable data on the web is revolutionizing the usage of the worldwide web. It embraces the generation and retrieval of freely available, semi-structured and related data (Linked Data). Intelligent agents are able to use this data for decisions and distributed systems integrate them from miscellaneous sources in a cost-effective way
ThisWeKnow: New Semantic Web App Tames Massive Data Sets from Data.gov - ReadWriteStart
Data.gov launched in May this year to make huge data sets of information from federal agencies available in machine-readable formats.

Making news more searchable and identifiable with hNews: could it even lead to a new business model for journalism? - Editors Weblog
The essential benefit of hNews is that by identifying content more clearly and making more of its key information machine-readable it therefore becomes easier to search for. It also could lead to the development of different ways to search via different applications. Kasi was enthusiastic about the advantages of this for the AP. "AP clearly believes that being able to better identify each piece of content for better search discovery, better linking, better aggregation allows ultimately for the customer to see more content, more trusted content, from editorial sources," he said. "Microformats are a very simple, elegant way to do that on a pretty large scale basis," he added, allowing the AP to "prime the content better for search purposes even before it gets to the publisher."
