I watch how fast news spreads and the words that bloggers use to describe things. Ray’s speech has been spreading slowly in this week of Origami interest. But, look at the language:
Nathan Torkington, over on O’Reilly: …the session was so amazing I thought everyone should see it ASAP.
Dan Farber: …very cool. Now let’s see if the Community can make it happen…
Marc Canter: “I for one LOVE this idea!”
Folknology: “that’s how impressed we are.”
Jyri Engström: “Microsoft got itself one hell of a CTO when it acquired Ozzie’s Groove Networks last year.”
I agree! It’s so great seeing something from Microsoft getting praise on a Web initiative. Keep it up Ray!
Oh, and there’s more cool stuff from O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology Conference over on Technorati — just search for the ETech06 tag.
Microsoft is actually positioning itself to do something it hasn’t been able to pull off since the emergence of the internet- become a thought leader with the respect and clout to bring about innovation on the widescale basis known as the web. It’s a paternal role that, despite it’s ‘gangsta’ reputation in Silicon Valley, the company is well suited for.
