Rather than a threat, why not look at it as an opportunity? From: ProjectParadigm-ICT-Program [mailto:metadataportals@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, April 23, 2010 11:12 AM To: public-lod@w3.org; semantic-web; www-rdf-logic@w3.org Subject: FaceBook taking over the web, and semantic web Dear all, Facebook plans to take over the web, by creating open graph based semantic content. See: http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/techtonicshifts/archive/2010/04/22/facebook-f8-internet-open-social-graph-semantic-web-twitter.aspx FaceBook has come under fire for selling information about users to marketing companies. Is this a serious threat to the open structure of the Internet and the linked data paradigm as envisioned by the W3C?
