Hi Kingsley (and all)
Just a reminder - You can also explore the LoD, including
http://lod.openlinksw.com, by adding the SPARQL endpoint address in
Explorator ([1] has a short video and a link to the interface itself).
Just (go Menu->Repositories) and add the URL for the endpoint.
It is capable of doing faceted navigation, set based navigation, and
more.
We are in the process of upgrading the server to be able to support
more concurrent users, but it's usable right now. Because of SPARQL
server delays and timeouts, we have added a number of demo
repositories locally as well (go Menu->Repositories); there is a local
copy of the (older) DBPedia running on Virtuoso, locally.
Cheers

Noted.
BTW - Do you have a screencast demo anywhere?

Remember we have:
1. http://lod.openlinksw.com -- questionable UI, but based on the
cost of the UI, I guess we need to go honker down and fix the darn UI
once and for all
2. http://ec2.monrai.com:8890/facets/ -- alternative UI to the above
3.

-- API used by Razorbase to produce an alternative to our default UI
This as opposed to (on top of) the simple click and browse currently
offered which does nothing but mimiking the normal document web. (its
completely impossible to explain to anyone what the power is).
With sparallax this becomes clear, you can search via text, then
browse, refine link etc.
