Left this comment on techcrunch.com, looks like the conversation has left the site, maybe FriendFeeder's have some thoughts:
So, I understand how open-sourcing the next application platform (online and off) will harm MSFT, but I don’t fully understand the upside for GOOG.
Where is the revenue from this? Will these apps rely on Google’s advertising platform? How do you serve ads when the user is offline?
To be clear, I like the move and think open systems are great for developers and users, but I just don’t understand how killing MSFT and ADBE’s platforms will generate cash for GOOG and its shareholders.
Is this just an altruistic move by GOOG for the good of the net? Are they simply trying to harm MSFT as much as possible? Or is there a revenue play that I’m not seeing?
I’m interested to hear thoughts on that - Eddie LeBreton
Me think Google just making some noise to keep itself relevant. They make so many initiatives but unfortunately very few of them work. Maybe we are really fortunate I definitely do not trust Google when it comes to data portability. Have you even tried talking to a Googler? Their are in a class of their own! Talk about Anti-Social. If Google wants the Internet Globle Village to trust them, they need to open themselves up to the community and stop building walls around themselves! - Igor The Troll
