Via Kingsley Idehen's Data Space:

Blogosphere 2.0

Ha! It just dawned on me that the burgeoning SIOC-o-sphere (online communities exporting and exposing content via SIOC Ontology) is actually: Blogosphere 2.0 :-) Ironically, this is far more a "2.0" (a 'la enhancement over base technology) than Web 2.0 (which is simply a usage pattern relative to Web 1.0).

John Breslin has collected a summary of recent events in the SIOC-o-sphere that Kingsley Idehen is referring to:

The latest bits and pieces people have been saying and doing related to SIOC:
