Ignore the lame play on words naming this item, I want to sing the praises of the much praised google for allowing me to not only blog this blog but also email (that can play MP3s natively by the way) but also provides single-sign-on to web services that allow me to add up stuff as well as write stuff to share my resume, add things to my shared diary, analyse my web site and don't forget watching funniest non-home videos online.
And it's free (up to a point).
And its platform independant (up to a point).
And its language independant (up to a point).
What is the point? This "free" (as in beer) does not sit well with the, now, old school, IT business model. Things are getting very interesting! I love technology when it delivers these sorts of benefits. Of course, older readers will understand the significant failure of Microsoft Passport to catch the internet-single-sign-on wave as people out in user-land simply didn't trust them. Google are considered quite differently in this regard so we can only wait and see if this will turn out differently for google.
