Could develop a program or browser extension that helps put such a
"resource declaration" on a web page, blog post, etc. to declare a
resource to facilitate its retrieval by people interested in the same
topic and resource type.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Topic-ID: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone
// Resource-Type: product
// Title: Galaxy Nexus
// Description: Touchscreen slate Android smartphone by Samsung and
Google
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This will be "the Semantic Web done right", I think.
For one thing, Wikipedia has the largest, most comprehensive ontology
on the Web (even larger than academia-produced WordNet and Cyc). For
another thing, people really like Wikipedia and use it every day.

in hiring a PhD student to research "father-bother merger". I could
post such a resource manifest on my blog:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Topic-ID: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_English_low_back_vowels#Father.E2.80.93bother_merger
// Resource-Type: job
// Title: PhD Student
// Description: Looking for a PhD student to research the phonological
phenomenon of "father-bother merger".
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Perspective PhD students interested in this specific topic ("father-
bother merger") will use a program to automatically search the web or
the blogsphere for any new resource manifests whose Topic-ID is
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Phonological_history_of_English_low_back_vowels#Father.E2.80.93bother_merger"
and whose Resource-Type is "job". Of course they can further filter
manifests whose Title contains "PhD".

Note that a manifest can have more than one Topic-ID. For example, in

the above example, we can add two Topic-IDs:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Topic-ID: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_English_low_back_vowels#Father.E2.80.93bother_merger
// Topic-ID: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonology
