<body><outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities/2007/10/future_of_web_apps_fowa.php&quot; &gt;Andrew Bate&lt;/a&gt; has a great blog post from FOWA. From what I've heard the attitude to the Semantic Web which seems to consist of people sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting &quot;La! La! La! We've got microwaves now, we have no need for ovens! La! La! La!&quot;. Marketing types do this a lot. New &lt;em&gt;automatically&lt;/em&gt; beats old, regardless of the merits of old or new. Hence the Web's utterly pointless version numbers (&quot;I'm building a Web 4.0 application! I win!&quot;). It's really getting utterly boring to deal with this unthinking dismissal of anything that's not &lt;em&gt;cool&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;zany&lt;/em&gt; just based on marketing speak, rather than rational comprehension of the technology." created="Fri, 05 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT"/>
