Yahoo Embraces The Semantic Web - Expect The Internet To Organize Itself In A Hurry

I often wonder whether the semantic web is really Web 3.0. Shouldn't it be more like Web 2.5?

(Or maybe we should drop the revision numbers altogether?)

Seriously, I wonder if we shouldn't be thinking bigger. Adding "meaning" to web pages is important, but it seems like a smaller goal on the way to, I dunno, maybe the realization of The Metaverse (ala Stephenson). Or something big like that.

Until all the AJAX-y stuff got labelled, "Web 2.0" was the Semantic Web. I can recall much of that usage around 2003/4 or so.
