If the result of all this hard work is just another venue for the ongoing pissing match between Microsoft and Silicon Valley, I'm out. It occurred to me that I should say this publicly too. I mean it. The users now have enough data, and the tools to speak for themselves.

Oh, forgot to say thanks to DL Bryon. I talked with him a few days ago about blogging in business. He's giving a talk at SXSW on that topic and we compared notes since I'm speaking on that topic at Demo. Here's a relevant quote from his latest blog: "We&146;re on another media convergence of the old and new and I&146;m not sure where it&146;s going, but it&146;s definitely more than just people loving their pets, shilling product, politics,...http://radio.weblogs.com/0001257/2004/02/09.html#a6 |
