Thoughts on making the Semantic Web a reality

By Dhiren | Published: May 23, 2010
Web 3.0 from Kate Ray on Vimeo. This documentary is brilliant and it’s completely rekindled my interest in semantics again. Admittedly I’ve been off the subject recently, however, the sceptics have made me want to add my two pence worth. I’m for the semantic web. BUT: We will be waiting for years before it materialises [...]

Web Trois

By Dhiren | Published: October 19, 2009
I was called into a brainstorming session last week for a prospective client that wanted to embrace web3. Que!? I hear you say. As a digital bod I was asked for my thoughts on the components that exemplified web3. What instantly came to mind was “asynchronist, always on, cloud stuff and utilities”. I shared my [...]

I originally read about this over at blogstorm and I just had to try it out for my own domain. I particularly like the way it can show you your host location. Kind of big brotherish, but it’s still cool nonetheless. Get the widgets!

Google indexing flash, what will this mean for accessibility?

By Dhiren | Published: July 3, 2008
