Hi Paul, thanks for commenting on my article.

The interoperability and microformats are just part of the story. You still need the browser to interpret them and be intelligent. We are currently observing a huge surge in web services. Sort of like Ecipse plugins if you know what I mean. Lots and lots of stuff that does not quite interoprate. The browser has a chance to be the glue between the services. And I agree that it needs to be open and pluggable, 100%. This is what we are trying to do at adaptiveblue.

Cheers,

Alex

I am not certain that LinkedIn users and MySpace users are the same community. MySpace does not fit a lot of people's profile, and tastes for that matter. It suffers from major 'unusability' and I think that it will eventually be outwitted by something cleaner like TagWorld.

And I agree with you, collecting and sharing is not about upselling. Image trying to push TV or a book on your circle of friends. Does not sound right.

Peter,

Want to comment separately on downloading software, because this is a really important point. The answer is 99% of the cases is no because you can just do it with the web site. However, with the blueorganizer it is different because its aim is to enhance your browsing experience by making the browser smarter.

You can not do that with the web site it has to be part of the browser. For more of my thoughts on this topic and the motivation behind the blueorganizer, please read my 'Smart Browser where art thou' article in the web 2.0 magazine:

I have to bet on Apple if this happens. I have hard time seeing this phone beating iPhone.

All of this is not uncommon. Bigger companies / older companies are just not as quick and not as willing to change. They are conservative, they are risk averse and at times they think that if they wait things will blow over.

Think IBM => Microsoft, think Microsoft => Google. Same trend.
