Summary: My Day 1 impressions of Windows/Office Live are positive and I think Microsoft is taking up the challenge of an increasingly Web-based software world, while at the same time sticking to their desktop software knitting. I'm particularly intrigued by the Xbox 360 relationship and I think we'll see a...

This week: Web 2.0 Conference Specialsponsored by:The past week has been an amazing one for me. My first trip to America and I've met so many people that I'd previously only known via the Web (blogs, email, etc). The Web 2.0 Conference was held in San Francisco from Wednesday 5th...

Very interesting John Battelle-hosted conversation with Terry Semel, Yahoo CEO, at the conference. The difference between outlook and attitude between Semel and Barry Diller is stark. On the one hand, Diller's conversation yesterday was very much old-media, 20th century thinking. Semel on the other hand very much impressed me with...
John Battelle is speaking to Barry Diller of IAC. John asked straight off: why did you buy Ask? Barry: search box would keep evolving and more convergence through it. They "plunged" into an arrangement with Ask. If they failed and didn't gain share, that's OK - because it (Ask) has...

I love reading old books about the Web and Internet. I'm in the middle of Stewart Brand's classic book from the 80's, The Media Lab, right now. Anyway I came across this 2001 web article from devx called The Future of Web Apps and Services, on the subject of Futurist...

Summary: 2006 may well be Microsoft's year, with upgrades to its flagship Vista OS and Office 12 products. But only if Google lets it be their rival's year. We don't yet know what Google has up its sleeve - when will they release their own browser, or their web-based Office...

I got quoted in an IDG article, currently on Macworld, about the RSS naming debate. I'm pleased to get my name in mainstream media, however they got the dates out of context. Here's the extract where I'm mentioned:"The debate raged on after Torres' response to Winer. In an Aug. 10...
