“Unlike other memory applications, Smart.fm takes a social approach, letting users share their lists and add comments to other lists. And in the future, Lewis says, there will be more ways to pull information into the system. The company is working on integrating with Freebase, a site that collects user-generated databases. Once the effort is complete, Smart.fm users who are interested in a particular topic should be able to access information about it from Freebase automatically.”
Look into this. The tiny quote I pulled doesn’t scratch the surface of what is really going on here. The implications are obvious and stunningly powerful. While it is not quite like sitting in the chair on the Matrix and getting Kung Fu downloaded directly into your head, the fact that smart.fm has partnered with Freebase is wicked cool, and for some reason (I should probably figure out what this reason is before I post this, but I am in kind of a rush) I think this will be good for the Berners-Lee Semantic Web (as opposed to the Google Semantic Web). Psyched.
