Sure, you're right. People will always spam and lie, etc, but I don't see that as a blocker for the development of a SW as much as it was a blocker for the web itself. I think there's already so much in terms of the data that's in social sites, dating sites, real estate sites, etc. And it's all fine. There's also a ton in RDF triples already in LinkedData, etc. And that stuff is fine too. I really think it's not as bad as our fears. But I'm noticing I'm not getting much love on this thread. Very interesting. Chris Dixon states in the (OP) video that the Semantic Web has turned into a dirty word. I can see that's true now. Fascinating.
