Semantic Web Marketing explained - by Scott Brinker -

Here's a sneak preview of a presentation that Scott Brinker, an SEO marketing guru will be presenting at the Semantic Technology Conference on June 16 in San Jose.

I post it here for 3 reasons:

1. It exemplifies the best practices of Garr Reynolds Presentation Zen Thoughts Illustrated: Ah So! PresentationZen - a book every presenter must read
   
2. It describes a difficult concept ( Semantic Marketing) in a simple, powerful way
3. It defines an early adopter business model for "semantic savvy" devolopers.

Kudos to Scott and to Rob Kruse of Venlogic for the link.
