What’s our solution to Microsoft’s lock-in Cloud _+ Client strategy?  The Open Mesh!

Doc on the LiveWeb = who’s son actually named it.  Here’s Doc (right) with his son Allen.)

Yahoo’s social network is not a social network - it’s Y! OS - the whole thing.

Who cares what it’s called - moving software and storage off of your shoulders and onto someone else’s is a good thing. Cloiud, schoud, dowd, who cares what it’s called.  Yet another example of buzzword du jour mentality.

I LOVE this notion of the user-centric web that Vysr is taking. Ideally they’d support more than just OpenSocial apps.  Any widget should be able to be accessed - anywhere.  Right on to Vysr - a key implementation of the ‘open mesh’.

I decided long ago to fight patents and to NEVER apply for one. I believe in Open Ideas and that’s what I’m doing with my book.  NOTE: I really like Read/Write’s new ‘multi-page’ format.  Triples the page views!

We’re gritty and cash flow positive. Are you?

Oh gosh - speaking of making money versus living off the VC tit - you mean social networks for Enterprise are a dime a dozen and many of them are going out of business. Oh gee.
