Finally, a Web-based PDF Viewer That Does Not Suck (Issuu)

Very useful for the Revista and other heavy, yet eye-catchy, documents.

There’s iPaper too –this one allows AdSense in the doc, how cool is that.

Good use of Adwords

Check it out – USAID and the NYT both purchased “beef recall” as a keyword, seizing an amazing opportunity to turn in lots of visits to their websites based on a piece of news.

Joomla or Drupal? So hard to tell these days…

Around these parts (read: yuppie Washington, DC), the trend for small nonprofits is to take Drupal and run with it. Tonight at our Netsquared meeting (newly hosted at Google DC) people pretty much obsessed about it and how it could be more aptly leveraged on behalf of Oneworld.net.

11 things to know about Semantic Web

Let me jump down to the last:

11. Semantic Web will leverage the “community” to add structure and this will use some techniques from first generation Social Networking. But it is very unlikely that Semantic Web will emerge from the walled gardens of current social networking sites. The winners will know how to motivate community to provide structure and will provide the tools that make the structuring so easy that nobody knows they are doing anything so boring as structuring. That is the big lesson from Web 2.0 that will be applied in the Semantic Web.

Here’s the complete list. Enjoy!

Microformats

Thus microformats are developed in line with “plain old semantic HTML” (POSH) practices and principles, that is, as valid semantic extensions to HTML. Semantic HTML by itself enables sharing open content with headings, paragraphs, and lists, etc. Microformats build upon that foundation, reusing rather than reinventing (i.e. XOXO reuses HTML for lists and nested lists for outlines, rather than inventing new tags or vocabulary), and extending only for commonly published semantics beyond HTML, such as contact information, events, reviews, episodic content, etc.

Semantic web

Here’s a cool introductory paper to the semantic web + AI http://www.ibiblio.org/hhalpin/homepage/publications/airedux.pdf

And here’s a very good introduction to the OWL language:

Does anybody know who or what is the place researching on AI and semantic web right now?
