"I haven't used semantic stuff much, but like the idea."

This is the first line of the anthem of the semanticalists. Not many people know the second verse.

The next verses go like this:
"And I use it a lot everyday and integrated it into my workflow"
"Everytime you use amarok and digikam, or evil iTunes and Picasa, and you don't have time to organize precisely in a careful directory hierarchy your files, semantic tags come to rescue"
"SickBeard tags my movies and tv shows, so I don't have to know the file names or what DIMENSION-mSD-LOL-etc is... and XBMC show them happily on my TV and fetches subtitles when the kids need it..."
"I don't have to categorize my email anymore, and when I did I couldn't for the love of me find any old message anyway..."

:-D

I am still constructing a way to apply semantiks to other document types (oh, my audio/e-books, my .od[ts], my .pdfs...) but I think we are fairly close. And my carefully-thought directory hierarchies DO crumble from time to time under their own weight.

Trick question. There is no second verse.

Translation: I will ignore all you wrote because confirmation bias, that's why.
