The problem isn't the technology, it's the people. People don't want to share their data. You have to get people to actually accept that their competitors might be able to easily scrape data out of their website. They don't want that, and they'll pay money to keep it from happening.
- egfx 6y ago> People don't want to share their data Where did you get that notion? Just take a look at the internet this last decade. What people crave now is a semantic web that is connected to a community of computers able to very quickly verify and distinguish what’s real and what’s disconnected from the truth.

- Vinnl 6y agoThat really depends on the type of data, I think. For example, I'm quite sure restaurant owners love it when their restaurant address is shared far and wide, so people can find the restaurant. When the data is your USP, sure. But there's a ton of data that's not.
