C|Net Integrates Ontology Viewer Into News Site
ikewillis writes "The new beta version of news.com now features an integrated ontology viewer developed in collaboration with LivePlasma who appears to have built a large ontology for music and movies. While they don't appear to provide direct access to the ontological data using semantic web formats like OWL and RDF, it's the first time I've ever seen web ontologies used on such a high profile site. How long until we can expect web ontology viewers (and semantic web integration) for sites like Wikipedia?"

Wife has it.
the web in it's very first steps
"its".
To the Slashdot editors and coders:
Slow Down Cowboy!
Slashdot requires you to wait between each successful posting of a comment to allow everyone a fair chance at posting a comment.
It's been 26 minutes since you last successfully posted a comment
Chances are, you're behind a firewall or proxy, or clicked the Back button to accidentally reuse a form.
No, I'm not behind a fucking firewall or proxy, and I didn't click my fucking "Back" button. What happened was that you fucking idiots don't fucking tell me in advance (when I fucking click the fucking "Reply to This" link) how fucking long I have to fucking wait to fucking post. Instead, you wait until I have composed my reply and try to submit it, and only then do you tell me that I should have waited longer. This is totally fucked up. If I didn't have ad blocking turned on, I would email your advertisers and complain about how you treat people who post anonymously when they post useless crap because they are afraid to compromise their kharma.
Oh, and when the fuck are you going to fix the punctuation in your obnoxious message ("It's been X minutes since you last successfully posted a comment" should end with a period/full stop, you stupid motherfucking hamster fondlers)?
Please note that the above is meant to be friendly helpful criticism, and interpret it in that spirit. Thank you.
