A friend recently sent me the link to Clay Shirky’s piece on the Semantic Web  with a “I assume you’ve seen this, what do you think?”

I had seen it, but I hadn’t looked at it for years. So I went back for another look.

As usual, Shirky's writing is intelligent, insightful and even funny. Recommended reading. I had hoped the ensuing years would prove "us" (Semantic Technologists) right, and that the argument would look amusing in retrospect.
