Its been over a week since we launched our The Future of Software micro site that over a period of one month will take a look at some of the major trends that are changing and influencing the software business. Here is a recap:
* Data 2.0: How the Web disrupts our relational database world
* Web Services war is over: Time to Rest
* Designing the Future: One Tiny App at a time
* The 7Cs of software
When you guys announced this I was fairly excited about this, and promoted it heavily.
I was expecting the series to talk about the relationship between software and society is likely to evolve in the future — more like how the future of software is likely to affect the day-to-day lives of humans.
Other areas of interest would be business models of software, or feature-sets of software (like the first in the post).
Somehow the rest of the posts have not been as appealing — just talking about how one protocol is evolving into the next isn’t as exciting, atleast to me.
Like the overall idea of this blog, and the titles are really good — however the actual content needs work. Specifically, the post “Designing the future: One Tiny App at a Time” basically recaps the whole widgets trend that has been going on for a few years now. There is more to the story then just recaping Google Gadgets, Y! Widgets, etc.
I agree with ariel.
Overall idea is really good, but content definately needs some work. So far, it reads like random observations about Web startups
