I need to get into the habit of posting all the articles I find interesting here. Here's one from a few days ago that I didn't mention, it's Tim Berners-Lee talking about the Semantic Web. As the guy who invented HTML, he commands an awful lot of well-earned respect, and this is a brilliant concept. The Economist, brilliant as ever, reminded me of this article today with their own article talking about the future of software. The future they describe is essentially the future of the semantic web -- content that knows what it is, but more importantly says what it can do, which other software can then exploit. The Economist article is part of a larger survey of software in that issue which got good reviews from other quarters.
