If you had been following the thread, you would have seen the issue already addressed. The assumption that "semantic web" means "metadata produced by a publisher about his own pages" is invalid, and is the straw man upon which much of the "metacrap" arguments lie. Furthermore, it's not an issue of Google vs. "semantic web". The two are completely orthogonal. Google/MSN could index triples if they chose. Google/MSN could expose their derived metadata (page rank, etc.) using an open triples format if they chose. In fact, the two could be very complimentary. The fact that someone wrote a flame piece without the slightest understanding of the actual issues does not surprise me. This happens often on the Internet. However, the fact that otherwise intelligent people cite the screed without being able to defend it, and without using their own brains to understand the actual issues, *does* surprise me.
