Given that links between web pages formed the basis of Google's rise, it is quite extraordinary that they are not the ones to be be making this announcement concerning the 'next generation' of those links. You're certainly right that social networks will contribute an important part of the semantic web, but the technical challenges lie with the search engines. Yahoo's lead makes it valuable for sites like Facebook to adopt the semantic web, and they will do so easily when the search engines make meaning out of semantic web markup. Dan PS. Glad that Facebook recognised your important contribution to their ecosystem when they invited you to interview MZ. Nick,
