I continue to research topics surrounding data aggregation and stumbled on the site MetaWeb, which was recently acquired by Google. Metaweb is the leader in semantic data generation and creator of Freebase, an application to aggregate collected data. Metaweb offers a service called topic blocks that can be integrated into any website. I added a social media topic block to my Blog and it can be seen on the right-hand side of the page. Google acquired Metaweb in an effort to provide smarter search results, and it appears that we creeping up on Web 3.0.
Not to be a bummer, but your Freebase Social Media widget doesn't work on my computer. All I see is a square that says, "No image." :(
ReplyDeleteThis MetaWeb thing looks pretty useful! Anything that helps organize is always a plus in my booK - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnd since the YouTube video didn't show up on Allyson's computer, I'm glad I posted links to the two videos I shared today, BUT that will only help if it was platform problems and not blocked accessibilty.
