In our latest Talking with Talis podcast, Paul Miller talks with Radar Networks' Founder and CEO, Nova Spivack.

Radar Networks is a stealth-mode Bay Area technology startup closely associated with the pragmatic implementation of the Semantic Web popularly referred to as 'Web 3.0.' During our conversation, we cover some of Nova's background before exploring his views on the Semantic Web, the way in which it is currently perceived, and the opportunity for companies such as his to deliver its potential in the mainstream Web of today.

In our latest Talking with Talis podcast Paul Miller talks with Fotango's Chief Operating Officer, Simon Wardley, and Chief Marketing Officer, Koby Amedume.

We discuss Fotango's take on the commodification of IT, a topic brought to the attention of many by Nick Carr in his 2003 Harvard Business Review piece and the more recent book of similar name. We also touch upon the realities of running a company that releases so much under open source licenses, illustrating the discussion with reference to Fotango's latest offering, Zimki;

"Zimki is everything you love about developing web applications plus a whole lot more. Create, build and deploy web apps quickly, cheaply and without having to worry about administrative overheads like setting up servers, buying hardware or web space."

The conversation concludes with the announcement of the Zimki Business Application Competition, and it's £10,000 prize for the most compelling new application built on Zimki.
