Those who can’t compete consort

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

I think it was Scott McNealy who said ‘Those who can’t compete, consort” when DEC, HP, Siemens, IBM and a host of others created the OSF to head Sun of at the pass in the late 80’s and early 90’s.  Well its the same old song with Google’s annoucement of its OpenSocial initiative. Suddenly its the world against Facebook.

Now, I’m no “according to Hoyle” Facebook defender but you have to smell a rat when the least open company in the world suddenly make a play for sharing all the data in world with its users.

Absolutely,  OpenSocial is a good idea, but lets follow it with OpenPageRank, OpenSearch and OpenGoogleDatabase.

Googles rejigging of its page rank has winners and losers. Luckily Copacetic has been a winner and we have been catapulted into the second slot on a search for “copacetic”. We used to snuggle just below the fold behind all the dictionary entries for Copacetic.

Yes, I am a sad page rank measuring sap :-)  I expect to sink back into the void next week, so lets drink a beer and enjoy our day in the sun.
