[p2p-research] Semantic Wikipedia: a sudden resurgence in popularity

Wed Apr 15 22:31:40 CEST 2009

An article I had written on semantic version of Wikipedia has come up at #1
on a popular semantic social networking app called Twine and sent my blog
traffic thru the roof.

Why the sudden interest (again) in semantic wikipedia?

I know Jimmy Wales dropped his Wikia search venture (semantic search
leveraging wiki technology, user-directed search, etc)...
