Facebook just pulled a Netscape. What the hell are they thinking? They just flipped off Google and others in this openness war - how? by being closed. Most of the Facebook kids were not around when Netscape blew it to Microsoft. Now Facebook is making a blunder to fight Google on a frontal basis. …

CBS 2.0 - CBS Buys CNet - Expect CBS to Let CNET Run Things
http://furrier.org/2008/05/15/cbs-20-cbs-buys-cnet-expect-cbs-to-let-cnet-run-things/CBS buys CNET as reported first by PaidContent.org. I need to digest the impact of this but off the top of my head this is clearly CBS 2.0 - the web2.0ifcation of CBS. I expect CBS to let the CNet folks lead the charge. It’s a public secret that there is some great talent at Cnet waiting for the ‘green light’ to compete. …

20bits | Technology, one bit at a time.
http://20bits.comknow best? Are they the best arbiters of my privacy? Thanks, Facebook, but no thanks. I should be able to do with my data as I please. Update: TechCrunch has more, including a follow-up from both Google and Facebook. Update 2: John Furrier has an interesting post where he compares Facebook's strategy to Netscape rather than Microsoft.

Icahn vs. Yahoo, Facebook vs. Google
http://www.yugatech.com/blog/gooooogle/icahn-vs-yahoo-facebo...until it comes into compliance. We’ve reached out to Google several times about this issue, and hope to work with them to enable users to share their data exactly when and where they choose. Open is not actually open after all at Facebook. Furrier thinks Facebook has just pulled a Netscape. Robert Scoble disagrees. It’s a lesson we need to learn — an open door policy can be good for your strategy but it can also make other enterprising entities benefit from your hard work. That

Fellow blogger and twitter’r John Furrier had some additional thoughts on MS Live Mesh and the UC news today. Marty Parker and Don Van Doren jumped up to explain the black art of demystifying ROI around UC. It was a great presentation I’m not sure I can summarize here.

The Life of a Silicon Valley Rockstar
http://blog.spikethis.netgreat presentation. If I were in the market for a VM solution I’d give them a hard look. I just wonder if they have a great answer to a question very few people are asking? After the conference proper I had a great conversation with Jim Burton and John Furrier over a wonderful 2001 Phelps cab. A huge thank you to Jim for providing the wine.
