Don't think of the RDF store as Google where you enter two words and
get back top 10 results. Think of it as a database that has all kinds
of weird relations for different objects. You could ask it for the
last.fm track that was playing while you were looking at lolcat images
on the second day od GCDS while chatting with people whose last name
contained a lowercase "n" :)

More real life examples:

- show me all the party pics
- give me files and data related to gnome bug #123
- list all the files I received from Lennart during the last week
(over Jabber, e-mail etc.)
