  Business Calculator

  Next thing you need to do (one you ahem change the above) is link it to historical data from the major ad providors. And give examples of real business with their stats (pageviews, CPM etc)

  Is using a Wiki a good form to build a social network?

  what makes a wiki a social network is the ability to discuss - wikipedia's talk pages, confluences comment feature. People interacting over content builds relationships. Having said that though, I would say forums and the comments of a blog (a forum again) are the best ways of building social networks

  Semantic Web

  Unfortunately no, and it's largely because people don't understand the potential of the semantic web. Yet.

  And a big challenge with semantic web apps is ontologies. You are dismissing the benefit of storing data consistently that freebase does - the benefit of a semantic web is so that you can find data consistencies and this is very valuable. Having said that though, I can't imagine freebase working out. I don't see how a person would be motivated to "structure" the data - they seem to think that if people are willing to edit wikipedia, then they must be motivated to structure sentences into types. Adding content to wikipedia is a different experience than structuring it, and I think these guys don't fully understand the motivation for people to edit wikipedia. The fact threre is a semantic mediawiki, pretty much makes freebase irrelevant.

  Radar Networks will be interesting to watch when they (apparently) will launch later this year. They are essentially building a consolidated wiki, blog and e-mail application that a user can store all their data in it. It could work because people will have see a benefit in semanticising their data.
