Are there any immediate benefits of implementing semantic web features in a website - and does google really pay attention to rdf markup?
I have read on and off over the last couple of years but nothing major appears to be happening.

Are there any immediate benefits of implementing semantic web features in a website
There are already a few success stories of the Semantic Web.
does google really pay attention to rdf markup?
Take a look at what Google says about RDFa and how it produces rich snippets out of that.

Currently the biggest incentive IMHO is:
"Search engines including Bing, Google, Yahoo! and Yandex rely on this markup to improve the display of search results, making it easier for people to find the right web pages." -- http://schema.org/
More people/eyeballs, more traffic => more subscriptions/products sold/advertisement money.
You said: "nothing major appears to be happening". I disagree, right now schema.org is something major happening.

Can someone explain WebKit? [closed]

I am trying to understand WebKit properly. I understand its the browser engine. But its not clear to me what exactly it contains and more importantly what does it not contain? The one thing I am having trouble placing is the JS engine. Is the DOM implementation part of WebKit?
Where does the JS engine (like V8) fit? Going by this page I assume that the SubResourceLoader towards the end of the image is loading the JS. But the JS also changes the DOM (or uses the DOM) so it needs to be integral part of the WebKit engine.
So can some one explain what WebKit does and more importantly what it does not do?
Thanks a lot for your help.
EDIT: I found this document which explains all I need very clearly.
Have you looked at the documentation? This part describes the various components.
Also, Paul Irish wrote a decent overview that you should read.

How to write script for posting your geo location to a website? [closed]

You see it everywhere these days...
Facebook will display your geo location along with your status update. "John Doe says this...near Austin, Tx"
In Google maps you can click the "round dot" and it will show you where you are geographically and allow you to create your direction around that.
What's the coding behind it? I'd like to start implementing this into a few things (more so how facebook does it). Does anyone have an idea? I'm guessing a combo between php, javascript, Database (ajax) and perhaps a "GEO api" of some sorts... Along with w/ some good ol' fashion html/css.
Am I on the right thinking path here?
It's the Geolocation API . Have a look here: http://html5doctor.com/finding-your-position-with-geolocation/

I'm looking for an API, or a solution, to find blog posts on the web.
I have few keywords passed by a user (like "fashion hats") and I want to get a list of blog posts that match it.
Importants is the freshness of the post and the relevancy of the source.
Is anything already out there?
Thanks a lot
It's hard to select for date and for relevance at the same time. Here's how you do it with blekko:
https://blekko.com/ws/hats+/fashion+/blog+/daterange=%221+month+ago-now%22
This shows, sorted by relevance, the search string [hats] limited to the human-curated slashtag /fashion, reduced by the algorithmic slashtag /blogs, within the last month.
Alternately, you can sort by date instead of relevance:
https://blekko.com/ws/hats+/fashion+/blog+/date=%221+month+ago-now%22
Our free API can be used to fetch these results -- contact us at apiauth#blekko.com for details.
I'd point you at some interesting URLs that list the good human-curated slashtags and clues about other advanced slasthag usage, but Stack Overflow's reputation system says I'm too much of a n00b to do so.
I know of at least two: 1) yahoo boss which costs .10 per thousand results, and blekko also has an api that can search blogs. You'll need to inquire about the specifics directly with blekko at apiauth#blekko.com.

Architecture behind large-scale social sites like Twitter - help with a new startup. [closed]

I apologize in advance for this not being a specific programming question, but I believe this is the best place for such an inquiry.
Basically, I have an idea for what I believe to be an interesting social networking site (not just a clone of existing things, but something useful and unique); I have a detailed specification document describing how everything works, but I'm not sure how best to proceed from here. Architecturally, it seems like it would be most similar to something like Twitter, and I have some idea of what technologies are involved in this (SQL database, ajax, mobile integration, etc.). I do not have the time to code everything myself, and honestly some of it is likely beyond me. So, I suppose my pool of questions is something like this:
Assume I am non-programmer with a legitimately good idea for a new and large-scale social networking service, similar (in architecture) to Twitter, and some capital to make it happen:
How do I proceed?
What is the architecture behind a site like Twitter and what technologies does it use? How do I find people with experience building these types of systems for consulting/development purposes?
Are there any initiatives (government or otherwise) that can help me in such a start-up endeavor?
I appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks, and again I apologize for the broadness of this question.

I have recently uploaded a website for basic web designing tutorials with proper examples and demos. I wanna improve it, such that it comes in google results. ? can anyone please suggest me what to do for the same.I have already used meta tags in my website
http://sillythingsthatmatter.in/
Thanks :)
I don't now yet, but I was told not to use dirty trick in SEO (like white text on white background etc.), since once google discovers it, you'll get a big penalty, a lot of negative points!
