Marshall Kirkpatrick is right. Yahoo annoluncing support for OpenID2 is a great first step - but NOW what will they do with it. That’s exactly what I was saying - yesterday.
Sharpcast’s SugarSync sure looks pretty coolio
Yah - decentralized Twitter - exactly. Open Source it - baby! And the difference between a decentralzied Twitter and IRC is that we need a DNS/ID federation to connect all these Twits together - so I can post to multiple Twits - from one ‘gesture’.
Congrats to Marten Mickos and the folks from MySQL- and to George Coehlo of Benchmark London - for his belief. We are certainly loyal LAMP stack users.
Michael Arrington says that open source is a legitimate business model. MySQL and RedHat both make most their money off of services. But what about services? VCs don’t like services.
Steve Gillmor has a great rant about Apple using Silverlight.
That is the question - will Cloverfield live up to it’s hype?
KickApps releases SDK - supports both OpenSocial and Facebook. Congrats to Eric and Alex.
Steve Jobs should know that Violet Blue could make a lot of money for him.
Hung out in Vancouver with Ian Bell of SomethingSimpler - they won some award at the Canadian Financing thingie I spoke at. They’re the folks who bought Pub Sub’s technology and have a coolio new aggregation service that matches tags and memes to associated web services, content sources and related info.
Paul Montgomery reports that Tinfinger now supports OpenID.
So while I’m on stage at a Canadian Financing conference - pk is back home. He ‘claims’ he was sick. Not many blog posts that day. He MUST have been sick.
