And the winner is... Google!

Excellent short story about Google. Definite vibe of FWLS. The future is bright. And full of weird acronyms.

Covering several aspects of the semantic web and inventing some new ones Paul Ford has published this glimpse into the near future of the web.

It was easy to publish the stuff. But the problem was that there was no good way to bring it all together. And it was hard to create RDF files, even for some programmers - so we're back to that steep learning curve. That all changed - suprisingly slowly - in late 2004, when with little fanfare, Google introduced three services, Google Marketplace Search, Google Personal Agent, and Google Verification Manager, and a software product, Google Marketplace Manager.

There are several more short stories linked from this one, have to come back to this later. I wish I had a reminder function in MT, allowing me to check a box "Remind me tonight about this link".
