This feature appears now to be missing. Users may not be using the feature enough to justify the increase in time to load. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ==> Technorati Powers Associate Press Top Five http://technorati.com/weblog/2006/05/107.html Essentials: This announcement means that bloggers can extend their already considerable new influence over newsworthy topics by getting much faster exposure from Technorati directly through the AP. Initially, the "Top Five Most Blogged About" will appear alongside AP releases. Another feature where bloggers can be more proactive is linking your entry to a release by the AP and be included in "Who's Blogging" when users view the article. You can see the "Who's Blogging" in action at The Washington Post. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ==> Semantic Web Closing In http://news.com.com/2100-1007_3-6076152.html Essentials: Tim Berners-Lee is telling us the "The Query language, SPARQL, is now in the candidate recommendation phase." This is a major step towards the Semantic Web, having had mixed press since its conception. The Semantic Web is one where code on the Web is "machine readable" and thereby much more is possible. It is expected to usher in a whole new era for the Web. Tim Berners-Lee (Weaving The Web): The goal of the Semantic Web is to develop enabling standards and technologies designed to help machines understand more information on the Web so that they can support richer discovery. We not only receive more exact results when searching for information, but also know when we can integrate information from different sources, know what information to compare, and can provide all kinds of automated services in different domains. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stay Tuned.
