So when does the semantic web take off? I can't be the only nerd waiting
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$The trick is to ask when when companies and businesses take up the semantic web banner. Whenever there is a monetized incentive to change the way people do things, times will change!
If a business can get more traffic by making its catalogs semantic, other competitors will follow. That's the way that economics works.
Grassroots campaigns will also help, as crowd-sourcing search ideas like Amy Iris (link below) could drive users to work for more semantic-rich pages to assist in developing intelligent searching routines.

I hear you though. If we're going to see Web 3.0, we're going to have to get involved.
