Bill Gates talks about Natal the way the Google people talk about Wave. Natal is Microsoft's next big thing, Wave is Google's. I get the impression the two pushes go on to further reinforce the image that Microsoft is a PC company, and Google is a web company. In Microsoft's world vision, the web is one of the many features your PC has, in Google's vision, the PC gets in the way o

Image representing Microsoft as depicted in Cr...Image via CrunchBase

f the web sometimes, and all the action that matters is on the web.

In Chrome OS the two visions collide. The naysayers have come out saying it is not easy to build an operating system. But I think a company that can give us Android can give us an operating system, on schedule. It is not to be completely Google's undertaking anyway. Google might be leading the effort, but it is to be open source.

So far the PC's selling point has been that there are some things you just can't do in a browser. HTML 5 and beyond will hollow out that argument, I think. Just a few more innovation cycles and the desktop is going to start to look poor in terms of all the features and functionalities it can't offer.

If the PC can do 3D, so can the browser, if the PC can do voice recognition, so can the browser, down the line.

The PC will not disappear. The ecosystem will evolve in a way that the PC will still be around, it is just it will no longer be the center of the universe.

Twitter, TechCrunch, And The Stolen Docs

Monetizing Twitter: A Few Ideas Netizen June 2009
Goal: A Billion People On Twitter Netizen April 2009
Fred Wilson



Twitter’s Internal Strategy Laid Bare: To Be “The Pulse Of The Planet” TechCrunch the dedication and deep commitment of this team to making Twitter into a world-class company ....... a key strategy meeting which took place on February 25, 2009. One of the audacious goals laid out in the notes of the strategy meeting is for Twitter to become the first Web service to reach one billion users ....... more of a “nervous system” than an alert system. ........ the strategic thinking of the company just before it entered its current phase of hypergrowth. ....... Much of the discussion at Twitter meetings throughout the past six months revolved around dealing with Google and Facebook. ......... a new Terms of Service agreement which will launch in conjunction with new APIs. These will determine what kind of

commercial messages Twitter will have rights to monetize via ads. Twitter wants to “take a far reaching license to the content, with two exceptions (endorsement, content profit), and no opt-out.” Twitter also talked about making its API license “more throttled than ToS.”......... “Diddy values his contribution higher than we do” ......... Google product chief Marissa Mayer was a “huge distraction” who kept asking for stats on Twitter’s growth. ....... Despite the interest and attention, all the Twitter management really seemed to want was to be left alone, even by its own board members. In a May 7 meeting, they talk about how to put off informational meetings in a nice way: “How do we communicate to the Board (and investors) to back off.” ........... Some stabs at defining the company’s mission included “Twitter is for discovering and sharing what is happening right now,” and “Twitter makes you smarter, faster, more efficient and more powerful.” ......... one portion of the meeting devoted to discussing “How could Facebook kill us?” ........ going from 25 million users at the end of 2009 to one billion in 2013, with a user being defined as a “unique individual having a conscious twitter experience in a given week.” ....... future revenue models, starting with verified commercial accounts, which is described as the “fastest way to make money without putting a whole organization behind it.” Another benefit to targeting corporate and celebrity users: “Charging more to fewer users is a good model.” .......... Search/Content Ads (with heavy users of the search API being required to run ads), Sponsored Tweets, “Adsense Widgets” (presumably Twitter ads which can run on other sites like Google’s AdSense, and in other apps) and payments. ........ “Free phones preloaded with twitter,” “TV twitter,” “Kindle,” “Radio,” “Dell, build it into,” videogame consoles, Website widgets, IM networks, and PCs. They also realize the “cost would kill us if we had a billion users tomorrow.” ........ “feeds are not unique content.” ....... Google’s blog search team was scraping Twitter’s site and getting only “60-70% of updates.” They wanted Twitter to

hurry up with its Hosebird API so that they could start indexing every Tweet. The plan was to “include microblog content on blogsearch.google.com .......... “Why did we start talking to Microsoft in the first place”? .......... “Twitpic- To buy or not to buy (1).” They decided not to
Twitter’s Financial Forecast Shows First Revenue In Q3, 1 billion users in 2013 TechCrunch Q3 2009 (which is now). A modest $400,000 was expected, followed by a more robust $4 million in Q4. ....... Twitter’s projected user growth (25 million by the end of 2009), which it has absolutely blown through already. By the end of 2010, Twitter expected to be at a $140 million revenue run rate. ........ the numbers they were targeting for the end of 2013: 1 billion users, $1.54 billion in revenue, 5,200 employees and $1.1 billion in net earnings.

Bill Gates: Behind The Curve On Chrome OS

Larry Ellison - What The Hell Is Cloud Computing?



Bill Gates is the father and son of a previous paradigm. By extension you could say the same about Om Malik. The guy was unexcited about Google Wave when it came about, and he is unexcited about the Google Chrome OS. (Spamming Om Malik)

Einstein gave us the Theory Of Relativity pretty much single handedly. But when it came to quantum physics, he never really quite got it.

Granted Windows is nowhere even remotely close to relativitiy - it is closer to the Boeing than to a cutting edge theory in physics - but parallels can be drawn.
