I try and read Marc Canter on a regular basis. Not only because he is a software guru, not just because he is passionate funny and inventive, no, because he believes. And when Marc Canter believes, he starts to shape the world around him to make that belief become reality. And that's really why I listen. This latest post had me moving to the edge of my chair:
Marc's Voice: Open Source Infrastructure: A World of Possibilities
But without a doubt the MOST exciting developments are in the area of micro-content standards. Open Source Infrastructure is coming into being! The mesh of islands of functionality are forming into an archipelago - and the standards are the causeways and bridges!
both Adam Curry and Dave Winer alluded and contributed to - this burgeoning world of open standards and user uptake.Both Adam and Dave speak eloquently of a world of possibilities - where open standards and cooperation create bottom up swell in the world of distribution, viral uptake and new compelling experiences.
Marc goes on to outline the progress in these different standards and how everything is flowing together - a world of possibilities indeed.
So while the technology itself may not float your boat the possibilities for co-creation should.
Its worth taking a look at the Broadband Mechanics website too for more possibilities about digital lifestyle aggregators or a piece of software that glues and enables your online presence in one place...
