I agree that our uses for the web will evolve again once we embrace the semantic web. To repurpose some marketing-speak, I see the semantic web as 'Web 3.0' (as it goes beyond the possibilities of the web apps of 'Web 2.0'). There does seem to be some overloading of the term 'semantic web' though. Sometimes the term is used to refer to semantic markup, such as using the <em> HTML tag instead of using the <i> HTML tag... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_HTML https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_HTML Other times, the term semantic web is used to refer to structured meaning transmitted through specialised metadata... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web Fathom seems to sit across the two, though I'd suggest it's closer to the first, unless it's used as a tool to analyse the design of existing web pages for the benefit of new website designs (combined with site usage data, e.g. bounce rates, etc...).

Totally agree! The semantic web (Web 3.0) will change a lot how we for example interact with websites and will finally make the information on the web usable. Currently every website lives in its own little world. As long as we stay on one page it kind of works and I can for example sort and filter by properties, however as soon as I want to combine the information of different pages this ends (example if I want to see the hotel I stay in with the best restaurants in the city from yelp). That is the reason why we currently work on http://link.fish http://link.fish which is a smart bookmark manager and allows people to work with the information behind the urls. We are currently in a closed beta but am happy about anybody who gives honest feedback. Here is a short 2 min (low quality) demo video which shows how it works: https://youtu.be/Chfy3le5gY0 https://youtu.be/Chfy3le5gY0

  Link.fish looks promising, I can see it being a useful tool. Best of luck with it.
