The State of the Internet Operating System – O’Reilly Radar.
I like the way that O’Reilly ties together all of the things that make the Internet of today so different from the Internet of 5 years ago (positioning, voice recognition, etc). I think he’s put his finger on the reason why I knew I had to get a smart phone–something new is afoot.
It’s unfortunate that he sees many of these things that should be standardized as “battlefronts.” A bit of agreement on open standards for things like directory info and status updates would increase competition and enable innovation (on top of the common standard).
I’ve been busy with work lately, but I hope to get back to regular blogging…
