I see my life come shining….
…from the West down to the East.
Bob Dylan said it best “I Shall be Released” - me, of all the stress that comes with playing the chess game we call “our industry”. I’m getting tired of playing visionary. It’s time to ship some products, change some lives, go retire - again.
Thomas Vanderwal calls it the “Come to me web” and “personal infoclouds“.
Ray Ozzie has enlighteneed us with ”really simple sharing“.
David Beach calls them ”digital lifestyle managers“. Alf Eaton, Arnaud Leene, Marc Eisenstadt, Phil Pearson, Jay Feinberg, Marc Barrot, Mitch Ratcliffe, Chris Pirillo - so many people - so many great insights.
Microsoft calls it Live, AOL’s code-name is AIMSpace, lord knows what Google will call it and if there’s one thing we know - Yahoo will have one - for sure.
And they’ll all work with RSS and OPML - so kudos to Dave Winer for his continued great work.
Personal Publishing, social networking, mobile services, media and device management - it’ll all be there. Oh yah - and communications.
See how all the puzzle pieces fit together - however you want them to? This time around there won’t be ONE model for portals. For every client, constituency, context, culture and geography - they’ll be another twist on this most obvious of developments.
The Yahoo Widgets standards seems pretty tantalizing, if one could imagine inter-changeable modules - between say NetVibes, Pageflakes, Protopage, Eskobo, Zoozio and the big boys.
And there’s no excuse why comments, tags, reputaion, buddy lists and profile info - can’t be freely inter-changed between systems. Anyone who prevents you from doing that - shy away from.
is it me - or am I seeing tons of DLAs emerging all over the place? Has the integrated dashboards, new kinds of aggregations and highly customizable environments era finally arrived?
Coolio.
Welcome.
Now - what’s your business model? How are yah gonna stay alive?
To quote Bob again “the times they are a changin”. Only this time we can all work together, instead of fighting it out for the small crumbs.
By definition - once Microsoft enters the market - we’re maturing.
How would an open source social network fit into this puzzle? Or APIs to connect messaging, estblishing friendships, aggregating groups, posting microcontent or streaming media standards together - help?
Hmmmmmmmm
Hmmmmmmmm, indeed.
If a DLA page aimed at being read by me is the MyXXXX Page, what’s the DLA page *about me* to be read by *other people*? TheirXXXX ? Because that’s what I want. TheirYahoo! TheirGoogle, TheirMSN, TheirWeb2Startup. And of course this should be decentralised as well into a Blog AboutMe (myWordpressBlog.com/aboutme/) page in OSS that anyone can run.

I dont think the smaller players are going to survive if they cant put ads or premium services on their sites. The bigger ones are insulated since they can survive the trench warfare much longer.
