Idea to ‘hack the 404 page’ to analyze the query and figure out what the user wanted.
There would be no broken links – because no location change – because you’re using a semantic link not a fixed URL. On cell phones links are difficult, but semantic url would help you find what you’re looking for in one or few links.
Salim from PubSub – Open source project with Marc Canter – plug ins for all blogging platforms – Drupal, MT, WP, etc. Structured types for blog posts, you also syndicate the XML, when you publish to your blog in HTML.
So, with web2.0, layering services , this makes your blog content machine readable, so it is more easily find-able by machines. Schemas are largely worked out (HRXML, EventML, Ebay offers to sell), – you now own your own data, but your content is syndicated, and services can be layered on it.
