It finally works for me.

First thing I tried was "Paris Hilton" and "Hilton Paris", which is always the simple of example of lack of semantics on the web that I tell people like my mom.

Actually, I'm disappointed with what I got.

Yep! 'Paris Hilton' is the acid test! In addition, you have 'Paris', 'New York', and 'Micheal Jackson' . Even funnier, just type in 'Michael' and you'll see this is 100% antithetical to what the Web's evoution is supposed to be about.

        I also am still not getting to view GKG enrichments either.
        It truly seems to be a gradual roll-out (as Google confirmed
        to us yesterday:
        http://semanticweb.com/google-knowledge-graph-interview_b29172).
        I have tried all three of my Google accounts, all of which
        have completed profiles, but to no avail.

        What the representative we interviewed indicated is that they
        are rolling out slowly to account holders "over the next few
        days." THEN, they will begin with general Google.com
        <http://Google.com> visitors. And then I suspect they will
        (again gradually) start rolling it out across other global
        Googles.

        I was interested in Kingsley's experiment because it was
        based on the theory that some measure of "social influence"
        might be at play in the algorithm. While my ego might
        certainly wish to believe that I (and semanticweb.com
        <http://semanticweb.com/>) have such influence, I acknowledge
        that Danny Sullivan, Kara Swisher, et al probably have more
        in the broader tech world. ;-)

        Of course, if Google would mention "Semantic Web" in their
        marketing material or acknowledge any of the other work that
        has come before, that would no doubt help with the
        "influence" of all of us on these lists. But I digress... for
        more on /that/ perspective, you may wish to see Sean
        Golliher's editorial which will be published at
        SemanticWeb.com <http://SemanticWeb.com> at the top of the
        next hour (2:00pm ET in the US).

        Cheers,

            Well... I tried this trick, but does not change a thing.
            Yes, the search happens on www.google.com
            <http://www.google.com/>, but I presume it knows that I
            am, hm, considered as Dutch and sticks to its guns: I see
            nothing of the GKG on my screen.
