But PR doesn't hurt either, particularly when 1) you need to build the database, and 2) you have a guy like me who only had the time to do a drive-by review. Agreed (on the latter half).

In Internet/Business terms all this means: - Rely on open content sources for searching films, music, rankings, social networks, restaurants, products, etc making a shift from zillons of sites with the same info. - Focusing more on the addition of value on that info. - Contextualizing from news/places/persons what some text "means" - etc, etc, etc. It's important to note that many organizations research about ontologies, but nobody yet has merged many concept in one clean place like freebase. I think if they solve the scalability issues thinking in millions of queries per second, they has the success.
