Saw This Coming - Roku Builds it's OS Into TV Sets

In a move that surprised nobody, Roku has announced that they will build their streaming services into TCL and Haisense televisions. I've been calling this for years, as we can presume just about everyone in the media-tech game have. This really only precedes Apple TV becoming a real TV. In any case, full story via the LATimes here.

Is The Semantic Web Emerging Media?

Here’s an idea I came across in my daily grind… is the Semantic Web considered emerging media?

No, the Semantic Web is not here yet. Yes, the Semantic Web is still an idea, and when it arrives, it may not even be called that.

The web will still be text and photos and videos and whatnot, but if everything is being served dynamically in a customizable experience, is it then considered emerging media? Or is it simply an environment for new and unique personalized web experiences?

Tim Berners-Lee is smarter than I will ever pretend to be. I read the statements below three times before I feel like I have a grip on them. His ideas and the ideas the digital world has in terms of a personalized web experience definitely keep me thinking, which is really what it’s all about.

I have a dream for the Web [in which computers] become capable of analyzing all the data on the Web – the content, links, and transactions between people and computers. A ‘Semantic Web’, which should make this possible, has yet to emerge, but when it does, the day-to-day mechanisms of trade, bureaucracy and our daily lives will be handled by machines talking to machines. The ‘intelligent agents’ people have touted for ages will finally materialize.

People keep asking what Web 3.0 is. I think maybe when you've got an overlay of scalable vector graphics - everything rippling and folding and looking misty - on Web 2.0 and access to a semantic Web integrated across a huge space of data, you'll have access to an unbelievable data resource.

Does anyone have any ideas?
