All to often, when the benefits of the semantic web are advertised, the first example that is given is the supposed benefit when searching for ambigous things. That's not a very attractive pitch to me. When evangelising the semantic web we should more focus on examples of the possibilites we get, if the web becomes a giant database.

My favourite comes from years ago when a salesman emphasised the importance of being able to differentiate between blind venetian and venetian blind.

I like the idea behind SemantiFind, but agree that realization can be better. I believe we'll see the full potential of the service after some time of adapting/evolving. One correction regarding Faviki: around 1 million tags have been added recently, but the total number of tags is much larger - 5.6 million (2.7 million English and 2.9 million tags from other 13 languages).
