The Passionate Project Manager Percolating

“And therein lies the company’s biggest flaw in my estimation—impatience with those not quick enough to grasp the obvious truth of Google’s vision.”

Google’s expectation regarding Google+ seems to be that we would all dump Twitter and Facebook for Google+, thereby accepting “the obvious truth of Google’s vIsion”. I’m guessing that this probably explains why it is impossible to share to Twitter and Facebook from Google+ (and vice-versa). The end result? I rarely post to Google+.

I’d post this on Google+ but I can’t from here. This post will show up on Twitter and Facebook, though, as well as a few other sites.

So much for my accepting Google’s “obvious truth”, eh?

Email is so broken that it stuns me that we still haven’t replaced it yet. But it needs to be replaced with something that’s just as easy (if not easier). And, no, not Google Wave.
As for the “sufficiently smart compiler”? Yeah, that one went kind of over my head.

I loved Chris Anderson’s book Free which I listened to…wait for it…for free. (On iTunes, in case you’re wondering.)
But even Chris preaches the idea that Free has to lead to money eventually, whether it’s the freemium model (aka Flickr), give me your data and I sell advertising (Facebook), or sell a toy and provide the website for free (Webkins).
As put by this blog post from Pinboard (link below): free forever and for everything just can’t work.
The irony of typing this in my Posterous blog (free) on my iPhone using a (free) app is not lost on me…
