I really want to like semantic web technologies, but every time I try to get into them I'm stymied: * A zillion standards that all reference each other * Two zillion incomplete and incompatible implementations of those specifications * No sense of direction within it all (what's the easy path?) * Multiple rebrandings of the same ideas (Semantic Web, Linked Data, Solid...)

"Solid" is just SOcial LInked Data anyway. I like LD as it seems clearer in intent than the "semantic web" label.
Yeah, in that sense Solid is a subset of Linked Data: linking personal data.
