### AI overview

The article discusses the slow progress of the Block Protocol and the broader challenge of adding machine-readable structure to human-readable web documents. It explains how HTML and CSS provide limited structure, introduces the Semantic Web goal, and mentions RDF and JSON-LD as formats for adding structured markup.

### Source excerpt

Since the 1990s, the web has been a publishing place for human-readable documents. Documents published on the web are in HTML. HTML has a little bit of... Read more "Progress on the Block Protocol"

The article proposes applying semantic web principles to source code to improve understanding. It outlines language-agnostic representation, unique URL identifiers for packages, modules, and APIs, and decentralized information distributed across federated data sources.

### AI overview

FINN announces its 2012 Technology Day, featuring a Clojure workshop, an innovation workshop, and lightning talks on a range of technology and workplace topics.

### Source excerpt

One of the ways of getting inspired and educated about technology here at FINN is through our "Tech-Dag" (which means something along the lines of Day of Technology). This year we have a packed program which consists of workshops and a bunch of lightning talks. Workshops Clojure workshop Alternative languages on the Java Virtual Machine is a hot topic all over and at FINN we are exploring our options as well. Therefor we have invited Johannes Brodwall, Ivar Nilsen and Anders Karlsen from Steria to do a introduction to Clojure workshop. FINN Way of Innovation Our Lean-navigators have been working hard to help our development teams make conscious decisions and to make sure they make the right priorities to maximize customer value. This workshop will touch upon some of the basic aspects and give the participants a way of giving input to the process. Lightning talks Lightning talks are 10 minutes long and tightly timed. We hold them after lunch, starting at 1330 - 1500 pm. The topics are broad ranging, and not limited to programming at all. About love (... and ask yourself "why do we work 8 hours a day") Fragmentation of the Android and why it is not a problem for us Testcomplete database code before check - is it possible?

### AI overview

The article proposes "web 2.5" as an intermediate stage between the dynamic web and the semantic web, centered on aggregating a person's content and activity across multiple online services. It presents FriendFeed as an example and discusses the difficulty of relying on Facebook as the central repository for online data.

### Source excerpt

I've talked about web 2.0, talked about web 3.0, but today realized theres still a middle ground we have to reach in between the two. It's quite a pain that I really have no idea when my friends do certain things online. While some use facebook for absolutely everything, this is most certainly NOT the best option. Throwing your data into their walled garden is one thing, but for this to be the one and only place you store your online data is quite stupid. Facebook will only open up when they're absolutely forced to, and may not even open up then. To migrate 'notes' or rather blog posts out of facebook, or all of your pictures, or you're messages can be an absolute pain. Why not use a service built for just those things, such as a wordpress blog, or flickr/picasa, or twitter/jaiku? Well most people don't because of the simplicity of facebook being the central place for your data and your friend's data. Well there is a solution to it, though it's not ideal yet, it will soon hit a tipping point of when it will be the solution. Well first I guess I should clearly layout the problem: web 2.0 - the dynamic web emerged, users started publishing content .... Mass amounts of data, problems getting to it all ..... thus in the future we have... web 2.5 - content aggregation became nessecary, via friend feed and eventually... web 3.0 - the semantic web, services understand you and your needs and provide content around context In short this is a small plug for friendfeed, but if anyone else knows of a better service to in essence create a feed of you, please send them this way. I'll be posting a full review on friendfeed soon, but for the time being just want to point out the value in such a service. Right now I post on multiple sites, I twitter, I blog, I use facebook, I use smugmug, I use picasa, I use last.fm, I use ilike, I use librarything, I use tumblr, I use google talk, among others. While personally I might be a little more invested than most, still the point remains that a lot

### AI overview

The article argues that the future of the web may reduce information overload by learning users' preferences. It discusses the tradeoff between personalized filtering and sharing private information, using Mint.com's financial summaries as an example, while noting possible safeguards and regulation.

### Source excerpt

As I've become more or less a web 2.0 whore. I've also had a great interest in web 3.0 and what it will fortell. Most believe natural language and the semantic web will play a large role in that. And while it will that will not be the end result of web 3.0. While web 2.0 included AJAX and Flex, that really doesn't fully encompass what they are. Web 3.0 to sum it up most simply will be about reducing the noise of the web. While I can take very little credit for this idea as I have heard others say the same or at least similar things, there is an interesting side that I believe most have not thought about. You see, in order to reduce the noise of the web you have to know about me and what I consider noise. In order for someone to do this we have to be willing to give up information about ourselves, some of which people consider private. I still recall a conversation which I posted on a few days ago about users not wanting to give out their private information. I believe this attitude is very quickly becoming old hat, while there are individuals that will stay this way for several decades as a collective whole it's a fleeting attitude. I think for example of mint.com which I willingly give all of my financial account information to in order for them to simplify my life. Instead of a massive collection of emails and notifications I get summarized views from them. While there still is the chance for noise as I could receive text messages about every transaction that happens, I have the ability now to filter that noise. Noise is something that some people love, take scoble for example who loves having hundreds of twitter messages fly across his screen every few minutes. Though for the vast majority to reduce the noise to allow us to accomplish more in a day, but also have more time to enjoy it will be the key to the future of the web. I've talked with some that believe that government policy will come after people start to become too open with their information. My perspe
