It’s basically a Rollyo rip-off, except it comes with ads, but I digress. I had to do the obvious and created a Semantic Web search engine. Anyone is allowed to add sites to it (no invitation required). They have a simple UI to add sites either one at a time or bulk uploading. They do support OPML (yay not) but to make it even worse, you must “tag” your URLs with cryptic include/exclude tags specific to my search engine: bleuch!. I have not been the most optimistic SW enthusiast lately, but you look at these hacks and wonder whether this such simplicity of OPML or one-of XML formats is the true sweet spot for data interchange on the web. At least, Wing is sharing his positive thinking on SW so I can have sweet dreams and not think about the horrendous paper I had to read for school tonight..
