Nick,

I discovered this blog via Mike Bergmans WOA post [1]. Anyway, I encourage you to look at my Linked Data Planet conference keynote [2] that actually covers the synergies between Linked Data and Open Database Connectivity; how URIs provide de-referencable Identifiers for Data Objects, and how these Data Object provide conceptual interfaces to a plethora of sources including enterprise SOA or Web oriented REST services. In a nutshell, REST and SOA offer Call Level Interfaces for fashioning Data Objects that are interwoven and eventually “Meshed” into HTTP based Entity Networks across intranets, extranets, and the Internet (via the World Wide Web).

First of all. It isn’t an expirament. Second, you don’t even think about measuring the success of a blog by comments after only two weeks. Search engines most likely have not found the blogs yet. First you get the bloggers to actually blog consistently (we are well on our way here). Then you get readership and measure traffic. Then you think about two way participation as a success measure.

This is a long journey not a fast sprint.

Yes, it is WAY too early. It takes months (or years) to build an audience. I have patience.

It’s been 2 weeks since the web innovation summit and blogs launch. Is it too early to declare the experiment a failure? Most of the comments I see are from fellow Gartner analysts. Maybe the problem is only advertising the blog by word of mouth at the conference?

Sounds harsh, but then all successful blogs grow only incrementally, and IMO the main predictor of success is consistent posting. So maybe it’s too soon to judge.
