In case you are not familiar with what the title of this post refers to, well let me clear it up for you. Semantic web in this case refers to mobile. Now what I mean by mobile is that media conglomerates such as the New York Times are becoming really excited about posting parts of their entities' work online, but not just online they are actually formatting a page that people can access from their cell phone. This page which they are creating especially for cell phones has to be compact and concise. In the link below one of the top guys at the paper in the mobile department talks to a reporter and shares with him how excited he is about posting for mobile phones exclusively. He also shares how good he and his team have become at refining the techniques that they have implemented to make their mobile page top rate. This to me is a very important topic because the mobile medium is just plain huge, I mean who doesn't have a cell phone? This gentleman also discusses the relationship between mobile and print and he thinks that they will have a better relationship that online and print do because of several key factors. This is an exciting era for journalism, new mediums are popping up left and right. Lets take advantage of all of them while ideas such as mobile are still fresh on the audience's mind.

What an absolutely great topic to discuss! Semantic web is not something many people are aware of and the growth that it is making is incredible. The video is extremely informative in that it shows how media is expanding from online to mobile online. Everyone has a mobile phone so at some point people will want the news to be with them everywhere. Semantic web is yet another piece of the fast growing world of Online Journalism.
