building the open web one bit at a time

Just another day in the mesh blogging

How does the news of today (Memorial Day) connect together?

Years ago I developed several ideas for connecting the open web to broadcast television.  It’s great to see that Twitter will be used for these kind of ideas.  I’m hoping that scavenger hunts get real, sort of like a hybrid Great Race-Trivia quiz between meatspace and cyberspace.  I worked on an early hybrid TV-web portal system for NOW.com in 1999.

Meanwhile monetization will remain elusive until brands fully accept the inevitability that they each must maintain their own platforms.  Speaking of Intel, NVidia is coming out into the big leagues - as we speak.

While AT&T has decided to continue to support multiple mobile platforms. Now I wonder if they’ll try and connect them all together?

Its also nice to see freemium kind of business models - being taken seriously - finally! I believe I was talking about that before Fred Wilson and 2006 - BTW.  I’ll have to go back and find my posts………..

But first - gotta finish this new business plan………….
