Thinking About Groups →
This is an interesting point, and extends to internal corporate teams/groups as well, where the software is sufficiently deficient. Meeting functions, agendas, minutes, attendees, and ongoing tracking of functions are extremely week, but yet a simple Presdo-type of function could potentially solve that…? fred-wilson: An entrepreneur pinged me the other day with an idea that was in the...

Why Widgets Is The Wrong Word For What We're Doing →
FW is right - this is really the widgets have evolved into fully functioning nano-apps, with the only dependency being the reliance of a master app. Slave-apps, sub-apps, micro-apps, the term widget generally downplays what they’ve become and where they’re going… fred-wilson: I am speaking at WidgetWeb today. They asked me to talk about widgets as startups, but I am not going...

We end up leaving creative expression to the misfits—the people who can’t be socialized.”...

‘…When Google Gears was first announced, it was praised as the final nail in the coffin for desktop applications as it now made it possible to take Web applications offline. However in the past year that Gears has existed, there hasn’t been as much progress or enthusiasm in taking applications offline as was initially thought when Gears was announced.
