Re: the list of semantic technology companies now enriched with dog food

I think it would be useful to clarify why is this being done.  (at
least on the homepage , sorry if i missed some earlier explanation)

i can think of 3 use cases

* a small company supposed to use its presence in the list to show
some big potential customer that "they're listed there too"
* a big company going to go trough all those entries to find the
expertise they need in a list of very similar sounding descriptions
and with no geographical addresses or number of employees etc.
* an evangelist to be able to say "look how many companies have had
something to do with what i am trying to sell you, there is even a
long hand curated list" (and yet you never heard of it)

but they dont seem so realistic.

Thanks
Gio
