This program truly is quite fascinating. In 2006 and 2007, the signup figures for SL shot exponentially for the sky as users spread the word of’t with the novelty of evolving into the semantic web. Dave and Max threw mention of this SNS megalith a few months ago – though I only recently decided to [...]
Excuse my manners for shouting out, but why have I not seen or heard of this amazing device? This is a slightly geekier scope than for what Huddlemind sets its eyes on, but I really think this is the ‘first’ of its kind to making big steps in good directions – especially so in retrospective [...]
