I would frame the question this way: is LOD hub now dense enough for
basic demonstrations of Linked Data Web utility to everyday Web
users? For example, can we "Find" stuff on the Web with levels of
precision and serendipity erstwhile unattainable? Can we now tag
stuff on the Web in a manner that makes tagging useful? Can we
alleviate the daily costs of Spam on mail inboxes? Can all of the
aforementioned provide the basis for relevant discourse discovery and
participation?
An interesting experiment might be to start at some bit of RDF (a FOAF
document or some such) and follow-your-nose from link to see to see
how far the longest path is. If it is very, very long (maybe even
nicely loopy since the LOD effort), then life is good.

Dave,
That's what this is all about:
http://b3s.openlinksw.com/ ( a huge Linked Data corpus, talking 11
Billion or so triples). What was missing from this demo all along was a
"Find" feature that hides all the SPARQL :-)
Also, there will be more when we finally release the long overdue update
to the OpenLink Data Explorer :-)
