We have lots of positive ones to tell, but especially amongst ourselves we need to tell a few 'well, I tried it but it didn't work too fine in this context' stories. Part of having the technology mature is finding a niche, and figuring out the areas in which it doesn't really flourish. In http://www.slideshare.net/danbri/when-presentation-849447 I was urging that we dig a bit more carefully into these various situations where people have tried RDF and backed away. Examples I touched on there were Mozilla, Joost and Dopplr, cases where initial enthusiasm fizzled for various reasons. Maybe I'm being too downbeat, but it's just a form of impatience because many of the things I want to build / do will be much more fun when this infrastructure is more mature, and I'm fed up with waiting. We're getting there :) cheers, Dan
