The web grows at a speed and with it volumes of blogs, articles and user generated content compound forming an intricate and chaotic web of pages, images and more recently video. Google changed everything by not only offering the tool to search through all this content but crucially a way to rank its importance through PageRank™.

So, ten years on is PageRank serving us well? For example a search for "Yoga London" in Google brings up no less than 440, 000 results the first 3 results being Camden Council, View London and Yoga Holidays. The first thing this alludes to is that Google knows of places that "know" rather than the answer to my question rather than point directly to studios and gyms which offer yoga in London.

What does this mean for Google and PageRank? The answer is simple and has been bandied around for a while now - semantics...

Not just substance but sentiment...

The Semanic Web is the future of cataloguing the web by harnessing the collaborative filtering and tagging of information by its users. This Web2.0 approach to standardisation and syndication bridges the divide between machine understanding and human interpretation correcting problems such as mistaking "windows" (Microsoft software) and "windows" (the glass ones).
