Danny picked up an interesting take on the foes of the Semantic Web from Morten Frederiksen. I was surfing that way today and noticed this gem in the latest comment from Keith Alexander:

To me, it's clear that these goals are not incompatible with each other. But I do find myself constantly juggling the appropriate use of the phrases the Semantic Web and Semantic Web technologies depending on my audience. There's a lot of signifiance and (dare I say?) semantics in that innocent-looking three-letter word...
