End of May ‘08 blogging
I agree with Gartner - for IPTV and InteractiveTV to work - they have to integrate with the rest of the Home and the Home network - and connect to the outside world (read: Internet.) Stand alone STBs ain’t gonna cut it. This is what I was ranting about - here.
The discussion on “what’s in it for vendors” to open up - is growing. Clearly unless there are clear benefits to operators of social networks- as to WHY they should let their user’s move their data around - it’ll never happen. Zynga is figuring this out.
One of teh important areas of focus in my “How to build the Open Mesh” is that of persistent storage of one’s personal data. Here’s an interesting angle on data portability via file systems. That’s EXACTLY what I meant by meshing in S3, XDrive, Omnidrive (ooops they’re gone - I mean) Box.net, GDrive, etc.
It seems that Om Malik has taken uo to a style of blogging which I do - which is pile into one post a bunch of interesting stuff. And comment on it.
I think we’re a long way from Google being open and transparent.
Nice to see Arrington doing something coolio with technology
Here’s another reason why having Dare Obasanjo back blogging - is a good thing. His analysis of Twitter’s availability problem - is right on!
It seems that the Twitter folks don’t know why they keep going down.

Finally, a mention on cloud compute from you, Marc! And open source standards at that, too. Think mor.ph.
Best.
