Web 3.0, the first step towards computer takeover

seriously: you're suggesting that Spock & Radar Networks are 'nefariously' making all your pr0n interests & drunk photos somehow more visible than they already are? gee-whiz, i guess i'll never have to use Facebook, MySpace, or YouTube ever again to search for 'drunk prom queen' or 'ass crack plumber'. riiiiiight.

get over yourself -- in case i'm missing something, you guys work for a tech gossip rag that displays photos of D-list celebs (like myself). VALLEYWAG NEEDS SPOCK worse than catholic girls need bad boys, blowjobs, & dild0s, and it should be a regular staple in all of your articles.

(disclosure: i'm an advisor for Spock, and i've tagged all of you with 'geek pimp' and 'entertainment tonight' ;)

The "machine intelligence" sci-fi threat isn't nearly as frightening as the prospect of Spock functioning as a 21st century Stasi - tacitly and explicitly encouraging acquaintances to rat each other out and thus fostering a culture of paranoia and distrust. If people think Wikipedia governance is a challenge around controversial topics and petty grievances...

I foresee year 2100 as turning into a real Terminator 2 assault against the human race. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@bitbubble: My point was that as long as semantic search is based on human input, it will be spammed, misled and gamed.

Who decided that Spock.com is a semantic web play? Any semantic web shop, even as loosely defined as possible by a layperson's standards should have an RDF-OWL component to it. Radar's does, indeed. So does that of Metaweb.

And what of Spock? What have they offered above a LinkedIn crawl with tagging and voting capabilities? Not jack, that's what. Oh wait, they have offered us a site that falls over within the first few hours of launch. Sounds a lot like Web 0.03, dontcha think?

Ha, I just tagged you as "luddite" and "mark for assimilation" on Spock. No really.

Web 3.0 can't ever fix human mischief and will consequently be spammed out of existence. Stop worrying/ doomsaying and be happy. or so the machines would have us believe

We're doing that too, but for web sites. Who's really behind that web site? See "sitetruth.com". It's still in alpha test.

If you can't figure out who's behind the web site, do you really want to deal with them? That's the premise of SiteTruth. Legitimacy affects your search ranking.
