David Siegel discusses the Power of Pull; a different view of the Semantic Web? | The Semantic Web| ZDNet.com

Siegel wrote books such as Futurize Your Enterprise and Creating Killer Websites (both impressive books, though at a view from 10000 feet).


In his new book "Pull: The Power of the Semantic Web to Transform Your Business" he suggests that using Semantic Web (though not just W3c technologies such as OWLS, RDF SPARCQL) can be the savior for web enabled businesses (and those who aren't :-)
What IS interesting is that Google are in an indirect way doing this - "PULLing" past information to make interesting deductions for the present. It's sometimes spooky how their data mining algorithms work - check the advertisements displayed from gmail.
