Where’s the Internet heading?

I thoroughly enjoyed the Internet People networking event last night. I ended up in a club yet again with Robert and a few others – he’s a seriously bad influence!

I usually get a little nervous before getting up on stage (which is a good thing) as I don’t like ‘broadcasting’ my views on people, especially when the audience is equally qualified. However, the Semantic Web is something I’m very passionate about, so I found it very easy to talk and only wished I had more than the allocated 2 minutes. That’s not to say however, that I was particularly good :)

As a member of the W3C Semantic Web Education and Outreach special interest group, I loved having the opportunity to talk about Content Labels as I believe they are one of the most compelling use cases of the Semantic Web.

Jemima Kiss from the Guardian covered what each of us had to say very well.

In case you’re wondering, the photo is of Charlotte, Robert’s events organiser. If you look closely you’ll see me in the background but I was sure you wouldn’t want a close-up of me :)

    Who would have want to close up of you, when such a red beauty is in focus. :P

    Now is the perfect time for web 2.0 people to understand the importance of Semantic Web. Funny thing is you will come across with about few thousand Tech Blog, but only handful of them actually talk about Semantic web, which is the future!
