salar··on Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (June 2011)
Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Silk is looking for software engineers. Silk is trying to do some really disruptive stuff with structured content and we have a long term vision to really bring the semantic web to masses and build an amazing company around that.

We're working on very interesting and challenging problems, with a custom-built Haskell graph-database on the back-end and with a cutting-edge Functional Reactive client-side framework in Javascript on the front-end.

The company is in early-stages, so you'll be able to make a large impact. We have just closed a seed funding round with Atomico (the VC fund of the Skype founders) and some prominent Dutch angels and recently won The Next Web's Startup Rally.

E-mail: jobs (at) silkapp.com.

salar··on Silk (Haskell-based semantic web startup) raises seed funding
Yes, it's going to be freemium like. We'll be announcing various stuff around the actual product really soon, but the idea is that Silk could become your website, in the same way that Tumblr works as a website for a lot of people.

I love the idea of a "semantic cloud", it's exactly what we're going for actually. I'm going to use that if you don't mind :-)

salar··on Silk (Haskell-based semantic web startup) raises seed funding
You're right: content is on our servers so we can build up all the indexes to allow for fast searching and querying.

Not sure why that would be a problem though. We don't intend to lock-in peoples content and we'll provide a REST based read/write API – so you can get the content in and out whenever you want.

We haven't changed course. As Ixiaus mentions, there are several chicken and egg problems involved around the 'semantic web'.

We're starting with specific content publishers right now that use a combination of our web-based editor (which looks like a normal editor, but allows structured content creation) and APIs to get information in to Silk. This allows them to create sites where people can play around with the structured data, create visualizations, etc.

Longer-term, we'll open up the editor to the general public. Our goal is to do to structured content what Blogger and Wordpress did to weblogs.
