The official announcements came out yesterday and there’s, of course, a lot of speculation and guessing going on. It’s Google’s 17th acquisition this year. I’m not impressed. Who is?
What I find most exciting about this acquisition is imagining the new ways I’ll be able to communicate and organize my information using the Google applications sphere (and my Google account — it keeps steeling more power from me!).
SMS, status, email, calendar, office documents, photos, information and feeds of all kinds… It’s a big mashup and I can’t wait to see all this potential untapped and ready to use in organizations.
On the other hand, from today on, I consider myself living in web3.0: the time where important Internet companies have attained such critical mass and when the web industry finally found its structure, that the community’s back to the 90’s and early 00’s, fighting for data to be open, standardized and reusable outside of a company’s software services and all over the web.
Hu hu, on a more positive note, I think we’re finally harnessing all this information overflow that is/was tied with Globalisation.
I’m hoping web 2.0 and all those lectures about globalisation taught us all how to handle this. I’m confident.
Cheers and happy new era!
