I assume the tag cloud only shows the last n used tags, and is only refreshed every hour or so (and that "semantic web" isn't a popular weekend tag). Given that their "API" is based on RDF, it seems unlikely that they would be taking part in an anti-semantic-web conspiracy... > But the mention of Web 2.0 in the list does lead one to wonder: Is Web > 2.0 afraid of the Semantic Web? Many of the semantic web ideas seem to be logical extensions of "Web 2.0" concepts such as tagging. So how about we replace the "semantic web" tag with "Web 3.0"? ;-)
