Google a harsh mistress?
But what's up with the new #1 Dave? Methinks there's a kink in the algorithm somewhere. [dive into mark/August 1, 2002]
Try this search. This Dave created a multi router traffic grapher. And he made sure to link to his homepage using his name, on every page the tool generated. Thats 10,000 links. Sure, Google knows of more than 20,000 links to scripting.com, but the links apparently say "Scripting News" more often than "Dave Winer".
Let the semantic web begin!
The Web Ontology Working Group has released three first Working Drafts. The Feature Synopsis, Abstract Syntax and Language Reference describe the OWL Web Ontology Language 1.0 and its subset OWL Lite. Automated tools can use common sets of terms called ontologies to power services such as more accurate Web search, intelligent software agents, and knowledge management. OWL is used to publish and share ontologies on the Web. [Archive of W3C News in 2002]
