Blogging from Vegas - baby! ‘09

I just finished a great panel here at Mix09 with Dare Obasanjo (Microsoft), Monica Keller (MySpace), Luke Shepard (Facebook), John McCrea (Plaxo) and Kevin Marks (Google.)  Video of the panel will be available soon.  We went over lots of REALLY interesting issues and got lots of great questions from the audience.

PeepAgg.net is our final release candidate for the V2 version of PeopleAggregator. Come join and help us test it.  Source code and an incredible new set of documentation - will be ready next week.

I wonder why GigaOm is not factoring in innovation lead that Pure Digital has shown? Sure you can say that Pure only has a 20% market share, but they’re doing what Sony, Samsung and everyone else DIDN’T do?  How much is innovation worth?  Certainly Cisco needs that - and is willing to pay for it.  Issue resolved.

Arrington has some interesting backstory to the funding of Pure Digital.

Congrats to Dick Hardt on his marriage!  And photos!

One of the things I’m proposing here at Mix09 - is that Microsoft pay us some of their own stimulus money - to help defray the costs of supporting all these dam browser versions.  Like IE6 ain’t going away, and now we have both IE7 AND IE8.  Oh goodey. More costs and hassles.  Maybe Microsoft should give us money to help cover these costs?
