State of the Internet Operating System
Tim O'Reilly (timoreilly) - 05/05/2010
Ask yourself for a moment, what is the operating system of a Google or Bing search? What is the operating system of a mobile phone call? What is the operating system of maps and directions on your phone? What is the operating system of a tweet? On a standalone computer, operating systems like Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux manage the machine's resources, making it possible for applications to focus on the job they do for the user. But many of the activities that are most important to us today take place in a mysterious space between individual machines. Most people take for granted that these things just work, and complain when the daily miracle of instantaneous communications and access to information breaks down for even a moment.
Work on Stuff that Matters

ETech 09 Keynote These are pretty tough times... some things are being preserved, while some things are falling into ruin... Some of the things we think are so important today, are actually getting in our way... If you're not paying attention to what's happening to open government data, we have an opportunity that is unprecedented. We have a great challenge, but also a great opportunity. We have about 2 years to make a difference in the current administration... We're entering an era of choose your own adventure...
