On Finding Semantic Web Documents
Anonymous Coward writes "A research group at University of Maryland has published a blog describing the latest approach for finding and indexing Semantic Web Documents. They have published it in reaction to Peter Norvig's (director of search quality at Google) view on the Semantic Web (Semantic Web Ontologies: What Works and What Doesn't): 'A friend of mine [from UMBC] just asked can I send him all the URLs on the web that have dot-RDF, dot-OWL, and a couple other extensions on them; he couldn't find them all. I looked, and it turns out there's only around 200,000 of them. That's about 0.005% of the web. We've got a ways to go.'"
Who cares about the semantic web or any new web technology if its going to be deluged by spam within 5 days of deciding to use it, and thus becoming unusable / untrustable as a resource. Deal with the spam problem, then come back to me about these great new technologies that are vulnerable to it.

Dude! Its got to be the funniest thing Ive heard so far. Here is an idea for your friend to save him some embarresment. Ask him to turn on the tv hook up the laptop and pause some vidoe (non-porn) that way he can cover up the burn in... actually burn the remaining stuff so they cant make out Man! My buddies are laughing their A** off too.. Good one will remember for a long time to come.
