Post from PhoneBlogger Post from PhoneBlogger. Audioblog of a performance by Uprock at Digital Mix, a benefit for EFF.

Anil: "I'd pay $500 for a Google-branded microcontent management platform based on the Mozilla core if it were scriptable, stable, and integrated API-neutral blogging and aggregation tools" Here is the classic response.  First, would you really pay that much?  Second, the microcontent management platform will end up on the client (a PC) and that functionaly will be integrated with the browser, eventually.  Third, it will include blogging and aggregation capability.  It may or may not be API-neutral, but even if it is, it won't matter because it will bundle similar tools on the desktop (most likely for free) and most people won't want to purchase any other software.  Finally, if Google or Yahoo (AOL is too confused to even play) decide to reignite the browser wars with a 2-way browser, they are going to have an uphill battle once Microsoft gets into the fray because of the platform lock-in.  A more interesting response: is there a way to embrace and extend IE?  I think there is.
