Web 2.0 Mashups
Aside from being a quick path to answering "where are the
applications?", and generally looking cool from the lay
webdeveloper's point of view, there's another aspect that might be
worthbearing in mind. For many (especially larger) companies, the
kind ofinteraction they'd have on their roadmap for tech like that
of theW3C's Semantic Web will be non-commital R&D, no plans
of beingfirst mover. However, mashups are a direct application of
publisheddata and/or exposed APIs. So any interesting mashup has
the potentialas a positive Trojan Horse. So e.g. a really cool app
using GoogleBase with SemWeb tech would make Google a
loosely-coupled earlyadopter. Bottom-up influence is possible, even
on establishedmegaliths - as the influence of Scoble's blogging on
Microsoftdemonstrates.Marc Canter has done a little evangelical
work down this path, in theform of a Compatibility
Matrix.Micromodels.

I'm *sure* I had a couple more, ah well.
A possible cool approach to #7 occurred to me: go through
something like
Technorati's top
100, first pass grab the feed and FOAF data of each site, make
an aggregator (boring!). Second pass - address what the blogs are
about, e.g. scrape
Gizmodo, gather microformat
reviews of the gadgets described. Accumulate all of this stuff in a
triplestore with SPARQL endpoint, do a nice facetted view, etc
etc.
