People want to use the internet to find people like them

but they want to do it with mass market tools. People don't want a search engine for their business and one for their home life they want google to handle both. People who love pets don't want a social network for their dog, they want facebook to handle it. People don't want a geeky smartphone, grandma smartphone and a business phone, they want an iphone.

The internet is great of for helping people reconnect and to create silos of people who think like you and have the same interests but they don't want a separate technology for each one of their lives. They want one technology to understand all the varied parts of their life.

In short it's easy to think that hey that technology works great let's build a knock off for this niche. And in a few cases it works but in most cases people want mass market tools to manage the niches of their life.

Moving faster

Facetime for Iphone, Ipads, tablets, andriod 2ghz moblie devices. Things are moving faster each day. One thing We know though with all that mobile tech we are going to need fast wireless data pipes.

Teleconferencing has the ability to change social norms. Can the network keep up?

Wasting Time

today I'm convinced we live the most exciting time of change in the past 60+ years and one of a 3-4 fundamental shifts in the history of the world and mostly I'm sitting here just collecting a check trying to help maintain the "status-quo" .

June 6th Pre Iphone 4.0 release

Purpose of the renewal of posting is to be more diligent about what I do each and every day.

today is the day before the iphone 4.0 release. Steve Jobs and apple did a real job reinventing the phone space 3 years ago. Before then carriers wouldn't put Wifi in handsets, nor let you download your own pictures without a data plan or even put music on the phone. The iphone changed all that and it really was a great piece of style design and usability. But it's hard to make game changing enhancements year after year and this may be the year Google and andriod team has caught up. I expect save some earth shattering revelation I will move to the andriod this summer. Megan just got hers and i really like the openness. As we move to moblie here are my questions

1. Can networks keep up with the demand? The pace of users need for data is currently out-pacing the carriers ability to roll out that tech.

2. How long before you can just dock your moblie phone into a cradle and use as your pc.

3. If #2 is true then everything will/should reside in the could where it's accessible anywhere
