Bookmarks in the cloud aren't anything new — but Chrome bookmark sync is merely the first step in the evolution of Chrome into the thin client for a cloud OS. The implications for data portability in a world where the browser is the single point of sign-on for all software services is both exciting and troubling. If a SAAS vendor (like Google) vertically integrates their browser into... more... - Brady Brim-DeForest from FriendFeed MT Plugin

While it's nice to see that Google and Mozilla are integrating bookmark sync into their browser I don't see it as such a huge step towards data portability. The main problem is that both solutions are tied to their respective vendors by using their services. Thus they do not enable a common protocol but instead they are just extending browsers into the cloud. (This is at least as I... more... - Christian Scholz from FriendFeed MT Plugin

The implications for data portability in a world where the browser is the single point of sign-on for all software services is both exciting and troubling. If a SAAS vendor (like Google) vertically integrates their browser into their software stack, extricating data from that ecosystem might not be impossible, but will most likely be improbable because of the high cost of moving data out of a fully integrated software environment." - Brady Brim-DeForest

"The install link wasn’t working on the Silverlight page and after 3 attempts. This install is still a major hurdle for wide-scale penetration. this line was funny: “Don’t Worry! We won’t install a bunch of additional stuff on your computer or try to sign you up for unwanted email.”" - Brady Brim-DeForest

"This is what Ross Levinsohn said about Twitter at LATVFest yesterday: “Twitter may just be a great .org opportunity you can build around.”" - Brady Brim-DeForest

"I like the smooth plug here Liz. :-) Yes, I think we’ll see more and more premium or sub based content online. We all want a la carte in theory, but are we really willing to pay what it it costs for some of those channels or programs? I support a handful of web series that I really love and watch regularly despite their being free. Their small production budgets mean a little can go a long way even from just the diehard fans. But with premium television content, at a couple million dollars an episode, it’s going to take a lot of fans. Then at some point you actually get better value as a viewer (more channels/shows) just sucking it up and paying a cable bill." - Brady Brim-DeForest
