- You may find it interesting that economists have prioritized climate change as the least cost-effective global issue to pursue. See TED video: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/bjorn_lomborg_sets_global_priorities.html ...
- I prefer the term micropatronage. This isn't a donation in support of a favoured cause, but a commission contingent upon the production of art. That's what I'm working on anyway, a mechanism ...
- i think what you are saying is that with microphilanthropy i could start a charity for the five village women in my neighborhood who have alcoholic husbands and no food for the kinds, small targets ... sometimes ...
- Pure commoditisation - which ultimately, is what needs micropayment - is almost the exact opposite of microphilanthropy! It leads to donation requests getting so micro as to make the donation they ask ...

The fundamental principle of semantifying data is that information becomes more easily found and understood by computers. Mix that with AI and you’ve got some very, very powerful, useful tools for information gathering, processing and decision making!

Most of the development on the web is bootom up and will be regardless of google or even the money involved.

Top-down and bottom-up can work together in clever ways. By inserting non-disruptive prompts when content is being generated (e.g. "Wordpress thinks this is an event. Yes/No?") we can create microformatted content for the basics and leave the heavy lifting such as the "Gash" problem to to the AI geniuses.
