On one hand semantic web has _huge_ potential... on the other hand RDF as an ecosystem looks like a lame API that no- one will implement or use :[
But there is hope.. If you have a look at opengraphprotocol.org they have a quite usable scheme of web page meta-tags which I think enable Semantic Web v1 This came out of Facebooks Places and new Graph API, [ fb Graph API is, finally, a nice sane JSON api access to their social graph ]. FB Places grabs checkins from Gowalla, FourSquare etc, and will hopefully soon support write API for checkins. So... I think this is a practical beginning to Semantic Web which people can gradually implement, adding semantic value without major pain. Thats my take as a developer, at least. cheers, gord.
