Why hasn't OpenCalais gotten more love? I'm smitten.

Yes OpenCalais is plumbing, and here are some plumbers: Huffington Post, CBS Interactive / CNET, Feedly, The New Republic, Slate, Associated Content, Associated Newspapers (UK), DailyMe.com, Al Jazeera, Oracle, etc. See partner page here: <a href="http://www.opencalais.com/node/27153" rel="nofollow">http://www.opencalais.com/node/27153</a><p>Point well taken tho -- and we'll do more to surface these stories as they get buried over time in our many gallery pages.<p>Also announcing a dozen more fun partners next week. Will be sure to come back and share those names then as well.<p>Thanks, -Krista The OpenCalais Team.

Possibly because it's a enabling/plumbing type of technology? I notice that the main opencalais.com website struggles to explain exactly what it does, and why it's cool.<p>There also don't appear to be many applications written with it. From what I can see, there's feedtrace and newsfacet and ... that's about it.<p>Perhaps if there were a really compelling example of what you could do with it, but an autotagging WordPress plugin doesn't really fire up the imagination...
