Dear BigThink people,

I’m challenging Apple to embrace the Semantic Web by hiring me to replace Steve Jobs as CEO. I’ve laid out my argument and launched my campaign here:

I hope you find the ideas and the conversation compelling. I would love to discuss the merits with people in this community. My goal is to raise awareness of the Semantic Web and help Apple at the same time. I hope to be considered for the CEO job, but I don’t expect it. I just think Apple should be a catalyst for the Semantic Web, and I’m using my candidacy to raise awareness of the issues. I am trying to point the way to the future for all businesses.

Thanks,

David Siegel
