"Stings to Things that are Nameless" != Linked Data and the Semantic Web. Thus, what's TimBL got to celebrate about such an effort? If I was in Google's shoes, he would be the last person I would want scrutinizing Google Knowledge Graph, seriously!

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 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 ) 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 at the top of the next hour (2:00pm ET in the US).

Yes, the search happens on 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.

Earlier today, colleagues in London and California were able to see GKG rich data visualizations, while others in the US (myself included -- also in California) and Europe could not. I spoke to a Google representative this afternoon who confirmed the gradual roll-out, but would not (or could not) discuss the algorithm. He did hint that people with Google accounts will be first to see the enhancements.In my experience, the most reliable way to see GKG in action is: Visit http://google.com/ncr (the "/ncr" suffix stops you redirecting to a local version) Be logged in with a Google account. Try a typical entity search (e.g., "Galway").
