Despite having developed an RDF search engine - http://red-piranha.sourceforge.net - was never sure it would take off. Basically users are lazy (this is good) and RDF didn't give enough back. Tagging on the other hand gives users something (e.g. Organising their bookmarks), which is is why it has taken off , despite it being just another form of meta data. Likewise Ajax gives something to both user and developers (cool but powerful webapps), which is why Ajax has such a buzz right now (even though the frameworks are still a *little* bit clunky, though improving fast).
