We did a quick interview with Andy Plesser and the good folks of Beet.TV when we were at MIT EmTech'08 last week. 

Check it out here, and let us know your thoughts. 

Here are some quick highlights from our media and blog coverage to date on the launch of SemanticProxy.com and the new commercial Calais offerings.

Many thanks to Dr. Paul Miller of Talis (and ZDNet Blogs), Frederic Lardinois of ReadWriteWeb, Chris Morrison of VentureBeat, Rob Diana of Mashable, and Josh Catone of SitePoint.

We appreciate the time and effort that goes into covering this dynamic space and keeping it simple, clear and relevant.

Matthew Buckland has written up his experience using the Calais API, Calais Tagaroo and other services to bring semantic intelligence to South Africa's Mail & Guardian Online. 

Eran Steinmetz has integrated Calais into MOSS 2007, making it easy to automatically generate semantic metadata for your content pages on Miscrosoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 content management sites. 

To learn more, please see the MOSS 2007 + Calais resource page on CodePlex, and see Amir Shevat's blog post in the integration. 

Greetings!

We have created a Calais group on Facebook for all interested parties as well as members of the OpenCalais community.

The Facebook group makes it easy for us to provide you with updates on the Calais Web service and API, and to share relevant news stories to kick-start conversations.

It is also a simple way to share listings of the upcoming conferences and developer events in which we are participating, such as the Online News Association annual conference in Washington DC, and MIT's EmTech '08 in Cambridge, MA.

Hi all, 

Just a quick note to inform you of a helpful new DevX article by James Leigh, and a thoughtful blog post by his editor, Mike Rohde, in the DevXtra Editor's blog.

Find linked excerpts below and let us know your thoughts.

Thanks,
-Krista
