People have different focuses.  I would guess that most are interested in
back ends and creating (mainly read only) data sets.

However there are a few people working on applications, to my knowledge.
If you look at Tim's linked data note, he references the tabulator project:

http://tabulator.org/

Which is an open source project he and his team at MIT have been developing
over the last 10 years or so.  There's about 20 or so linked data
applications from calendars to miroblogs.  The source can be found at:

https://github.com/linkeddata

This is my favourite project to hack on in my spare time.  If there's
anybody out there interested in helping to create useful linked data apps,
would love to hear from you! :)
