Novelty man. People will always go after the new and shiny things, even if they're just redefinitions of old ideas.
I've been spreading the merits of the semantic web for years. People just ignore it. I've never been able to tell whether the idea is flawed, or if people simply don't get it.
I regularly go as far as to claim that the lack of semantic web is the cause of all the world's problems.
