Ready for “micro” 2008

You've been Microscobleized

Douglas Karr says 2008 is year of the “micro.” I totally agree with Douglas’ good post, which gives me a good opportunity to bring out my business card. Thanks to Hugh Macleod for that! Douglas started his post with “Perhaps it’s obvious but I believe 2008 is really the year that applications and strategies go Micro.”

It’s great to be ahead of the trend. :-)

Oh, and I just uploaded new pictures of the real “micro-scobleizer,” my son Milan to my Flickr account.

    Going 'micro' is merely the commodity market at work, things always go from big to small, pack more in, better space efficiently. House-sized vacuum tubers to Mainframe to Server Rooms to Desktop to laptop, laptop to PDA, PDA to Blackberry/Cell Phone. Nothing's "going micro", it's always moved that way. And it's well beyond micro, into the virtualization invisible.
  • Robert,

    It's always a thrill to get a trackback from the guy who inspired me to blog (after reading Naked Conversations). I was very close to putting Video up... and then didn't, but you and Nil are correct so I've updated the post to include it.

    Thanks!
    Doug
  • David: who's stuck in 140 characters? I'm not. URL to blog. URL to Utterz. URL to Seesmic. URL to Qik. URL to Kyte. Heheh.
  • Robert, when we was still young and impressionable, PCs were called micro-computers. :) Remember that? Funny how we've come a full circle. What next - CP/M-2008? dBase 08? VisiCalc MMIX? :D
  • Still too early for this stuff. An iPhone, especially one that isn't on a 3G network, isn't enough.

    Better luck in 2009 ... and even then, "micro" may be too early.

    Besides, the world in 160 characters is a sad world, indeed. Instead of microblogging, read Plato's "Lysis" this year. Might give you a new take on social networks and what it really means to be a "friend."

    Happy New Year!!
  • Nils: I agree with you there.
  • Hey! I said that too, LOL. Seriously, though, he's right.

    But why doesn't he mention microvideo: utterz, seesmic, qik? That's where *a lot* is going to happen.
