My book is coming. You can order it from Amazon.com now, and you'll get it in the first week of January. Here are some of the reviews:
From the November, 2009 Harvard Business Review: "To Siegel, the semantic web is a vision of the web as it should be, with users extracting information from vast databases, controlling all data about themselves, and being very selective about the marketing messages they draw into their electronic spaces."
From Booklist: "Siegel envisions the future of "smart computing" which will unfold over the next 10 years, where your data "follows you around" and is accessible from anywhere through the Web, predicting that hardware and operating systems will become obsolete as the Web itself becomes the computer." ... "Some of the trends that Siegel portends have a bit of a "future shock" quality to them, but he seems to want to shrug off the anxieties and focus instead on the possibilities."
From Publisher's Weekly: "According to Siegel (Futurize Your Enterprise), the semantic web, a more standardized version of today’s Web where our data will be so precisely parsed as to make logical conclusions possible, will enable our online information to be stored in a personal online locker from birth, keeping all vital information such as addresses automatically updated and vastly streamlining how we do business. He posits that the semantic web will morph our current “push” oriented strategy, in which providers push products and services, to an individually customized economy."
From John Doerr: "A seminal work on the semantic web and what it means for business."
From Vinod Khosla: "There are at least ten killer business ideas in here.
Watch this space for big changes coming in December. I am looking for volunteers - contact me if you want to help change the web."
